Does anybody know of a way to programmatically check if a particular Windows box has a soundcard installed and configured?
Background: I'm running a Windows buildbot for Python and the test suite fails on test_winsound.py because the box doesn't have a sound card setup. (The "Sound" Control Panel items says there are "No Playback Devices" for Sound Playback.) TIA, Trent ----- Forwarded message from "\"Martin v.

Now, if there was a reliable check whether a soundcard is present, that check could be run as a prerequisite, then raising TestSkipped if no soundcard is present.
