@DamienD my soundcard is built in on the Amd3500, same as my compaq ipaq desktop pc (p3 1ghz) but no cd/dvd drive so can't install on that!
figured out what i'd done wrong i copied the dvd over to the hd at some stage (to burn for someone else and i'd assumed i'd installed it and hadn't lol
so that was probably why i was getting default settings
Sorry guys
