Hi PC folks,

my system had crashed recently, so, it's just been fixed, but since then i have problem hearing any sound from my speakers!
i'm not good with hardware, and all these installing drivers

i've tried every freakin help i could get from windows, but still the same!
yesterday was a different story, i wouldnt get any !yellow mark in my Device Manager, but today when i tried it, it was different!

now that im tryin to install the driver, i need the software, but havnt got any clue where to get it, n which one!!!!
any suggestion will be appreciated

thanks..

btw, i can hear the system sounds ONLY

i think u need a new sound card lol.

no, it says "This device is working properly."

i don't kno open up ur computer and take out a wire lol, funnily enough my dad pc's sound wasn't working and the guy that came to fix it just took one wire out and it worked perfectly.

nah, man, i dont have any spear wire in my PC!
i'll have a look anyway, if couldnt get if fixed by tonight :

good good, but it wasn't a spare wire, it was a wire connected to the audio, very strange.

Well according to the device manager your audio driver isnt installed.

1) If you have bought this pc and have the original sound card cdrom, you should install this cd and your driver will be loaded.

2) If you dont have the audio cd, you must find out what sound card is inside your computer.

2a) Install Everest and check out what it says about audio card.

2b) Open up the pc, watch if you have an external or onboard audio card, if its an external card you can easily find the name of the card, if you have an onboard sound card (card which is part of the large motherboard) its little harder to find the name of it, most on-board cards are Realtek, C-Media, VIA, and SIS... you have to search for it on the motherboard.

3) Google for the name that you found example "realtek ac'97 + driver" , download and install the audio drivers.

good luck

hi there!
thank you so much for your friendly and usefull help.
i got an onboard sound card i didnt open the case. i build up this pc myself with the help of a friend a while back, n i got everything onboard along with the motherboard, but i cant really remember what was the sound card
as for OS, as my system crashed 2 weeks ago, i just got the student version of xp-pro from the uni im studying, so i dont have the required CD, i talked to one of my teachers and he is giving me the CD i need to re-install the driver on Monday.

once again, thanx for the help.. cheerio (*_^)

Your welcome Im impressed you build your own pc.
I assume your teacher has the driver cdrom belonging to your motherboard then. If it doesnt work somehow, you can still do the points 2a and 3.
