Sound card recognized but not working

[hairmot]

oki doki. i just rebooted my system to 98SE. i didnt check what drivers and stuff was needed so ive had a pretty hard job sorting it all out. but finally everything is sorted, thanks to everest ultimate edition all apart from the sound.
When Im in media player i get this:

0xC00D11BA: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

Your sound device is in use by another program. Quit other programs that may be using your sound device, and then try to play the file again.
Your sound device is not functioning properly. To troubleshoot the problem, see the Sound Troubleshooter in Windows Help or refer to your sound device's documentation.
You do not have a sound device installed on your computer. Install a sound device, and then try to play the file again.
Error ID = 0xC00D11BA, Condition ID = 0x00000000

gah! device manager is telling me i have an sis 7108 installed no conflicts. ive checked BIOS, redownloaded drivers. reinstalled them. Ive tried everything. but still in direct x there is no music section and i cant get any sounds out of the speakers. any ideas?
