I checked whether my office pc has a sound card by means of the waveOutGetNumDevs API call and it returned > 0 so a sound card was detected. However it seems to be somehow disabled for I get an error if I try to play a was or mp3 file.

If its integrated then you can disable/enable it in the BIOS.
Look at the Hardware window.
Right click my computer and goto properties :) :)
Now I'm puzzled, the soundcard is enabled in the Bios but no trace of it in the task bar or anywhere else.
Probably disabled in your hardware profile.
