sound problem
"tony" wrote in message ... My son did something to my computer and didnt know that there was a sound card after doing it there is no sound how do i get my sound back. thank you tony Try the following: 1 - Look at your System tray (lower right of task bar when you see the Time of Day. 2 - Is there a yellow speaker there? 3 - If so, click on it, it pops up and see if the volume slider is too low, or if the MUTE box is checked. 4 - Push up the slider and uncheck the mute box as needed. Speaker Not In System Tray 1 - click on START 2 - Now SETTINGS 3 - move to Control Panel and click once on it 4 - double click SOUNDS Now find an action that has a yellow speaker beside it "touch" the action so that it is highlighted (A) If the PLAY button arrow is Grayed-Out (not Black), your sound board drivers must be re-installed. You will have to get someone who knows where your drivers are, or you must be comfortable with running the ADD NEW HARDWARE applet in Control Panel. (B) If the Play button arrow is black, click it and you should get a sound, or a least notice that the button changes color for a moment, then returns to a black arrow. (C) Double click on the MULTIMEDIA icon in Control Panel. Be sure the SHOW VOLUME CONTROL ON TASKBAR item is checked. If there is no item like SHOW VOLUME CONTROL ON TASKBAR , then once again you have to re-install the sound board drivers, see (A). This should get you to the point where you can discover, or discern what is wrong. *NOTE* It is not impossible that your son removed the sound board, for a worthy cause. Be patient, my son does this stuff once in a while, but I have to understand, he is learning a lot when he experiments! B |

-----Original Message----- My son did something to my computer and didnt know that there was a sound card after doing it there is no sound how do i get my sound back. thank you tony . I would first go into your windows device manager located under the "My Computer" icon. From there click on "system" and then on "properties", then on "device manager." Scroll down to "sound, video and game controllers". Left click on the "+" to open up those files contained in that specific display. Delete your soundcard from there and then reboot your computer. When Windows comes up it will locate new hardware, (your soundcard) and reinstall. This should reset whatever your son accomplished. |

Drivers tell cards what 2 do:sound cards then tell speakers what 2 do. but try using your 98 disc for drivers first. go 2 control panel,then the icon "system."go 2 the tab "device manager" then go 2 "sound,video,and game controllers."look up your speakers,click on them,hit propeties,then look through the tabs until you find"update driver."put in your 98 disc and follow through the wizard steps,searching 4 drivers the recommended way.make sure u search the d drive to get the driver off the 98 disc.if u cant find drivers, search microsoft or the web. |
