problems with sound card after FAT 32

I ran the FAT 32 in windows 98 after i got it and I then had problems with my sound card.  I have conflicts all over the sound card in device manager which tells me to load a new driver.  I tried this and the conflicts won't go away.  the sound on my computer still works but the microphone won't work.  the last time i checked the mic. didn't need a driver but I guess I could be wrong.  like I said the conflicts are still there but the soud is working.  And the mic will not go at all.  HELP!!

Did the sound card work at all with Win 98 while you were still on FAT 16?  If you didn't check, this could make problems a lot harder to solve.  But if it did work, several thousand variables are eliminated.

to jcarlo:
Yes the card did work while I was on FAT 16 and as soon as I ran FAT 32 the problem started.  I hope that you can help me.  what am I doing wrong?
What does it say the sound card is conflicting with?

Have you tried to force the 'Conflicting device' to a new IRQ/DMA/IO?

I still don't have the microphone up but the rest of the conflicts have disapeared.  I am not sure what to do about the microphone though.  I may have to ask again about that when I have more info about it.
thank you very much. :-)  
 
Vaughn, Right click on the small speaker icon on the taskbar, then click "open". When the sound properties opens, click Options and then Properties. Make sure the box for the microphone is checked. When you see the microphone selector come up, make sure that "mute" is not checked!
