After fixing the sound problem I went back to checking everything that's been installed so far to make sure everything is OK.  I found a new problem:

Direct X Diagnostics has a problem.  At start up it gives me the error message "0x80004005 (Generic Failure).  The Sound tab gives me the same failure code for a different reason as shown in this picture.  Failure at step 3 (Direct Sound Create).

 

The Music tab gives me the same failure code again, for a different reason, but only when highlighting the Microsoft Synthesizer entry as shown in this picture.  Failure at step 6 (Activating the Direct Music port).  All the other items work fine and produce the expected test sounds.

 

So my questions are could the installation of DirectX 9.0c before I fixed the sound problem be the problem?  And what is the Micrsoft Synthesizer?  Is it the DLS Synthesizer?  Here are 2 pictures of the same thing in Millenium.  The second picture is scrolled up a little to show all the entries in Millennium.  Millennium has no problems.  Also, there are more entries in Millennium.  Is that because Millennium is a little more advanced than 98se or am I missing something in 98se?

I'm at work right now so I can't tell you right now but my guess would be several.  I'm going to be away until Monday so I'll get you a better answer then.  Thanks.

Correction on this.  From memory only 1....VEN is 8086 (Intel) but I don't remember the PID but it was only 1..

Never mind.  I had a hunch that it was related to the sound card not be installed before I installed DirectX 9c.  I re-installed it and it works fine now.  Thanks for your help.
