It's a weekend of fixing stupid configuration.
First one was my fault. Was playing with Input Labels on my Sony Bravia TV, and it said that my choices for a label for the VGA input ere "-" or "Skip". I figured, "Yeah, I'll skip trying to mess with it and go on to the next thing."
That is not what "Skip" means in this context.
It means "Don't allow people to try to use this input."
So, that felt stupid.
Somehow, a while ago, the on-mobo soundcard on my old Vista machine (mostly used by my son for games) stopped working. I had no idea why, but as I wasn't a big user for it, I didn't really care.
I found that somehow, ithe Sound config had been set to send to HDMI out.
This PC has no HDMI out.''
Also, I got an ancient machine with USB WIFI just by touching it.
