Sound Issues

[David McFarlane]

Are you trying to *play* sound with a SoundOut or SlideSound, or 
*record* sound with a SoundIn or SlideSoundIn?  If you get this error 
while trying to record sound, then Meltem has provided the 
answer.  If while trying to play sound, then the solution is much the 
same, except that you must add or enable the Sound device instead.

EP2 by default enables the sound device, so it would be weird to get 
this error unless somebody manually disabled the device.  By 
contrast, EP1 by default includes the Sound device but disables it, 
making this error much more likely.
