By default with older drivers, the wavetable header volume is muted. Aureal has corrected this beginning with the 4.06.2030 reference drivers. If you are using drivers older than these, double click on the mixer icon (yellow speaker) in the System Tray. Select Options | Properties | Playback. In the 'Show the following volume controls:' box, make that sure that the wavetable header is selected – it will be the option marked 'MPU-401', 'VIDEO', or 'Ext. Wavetable' depending on the drivers you are using. Once you have checked the box, click the OK button. You will now see a new slider on the mixer for it; remove the check from the Mute checkbox on it, and adjust the slider to the desired volume. - Updated: November 29, 1999
