Re: sound problem

You need to reinstall the sound driver, you should have a CD with all the drivers on there and you reinstall it from there.

Re: sound problem

Re: sound problem

go to Start >> My Computer >> (right mouse button and scroll down ) Properties

when the Properties Windows open, go to "Hardware" tab and then click on "device manager" button

That should open Device Manager window .. Go to Sound, Video and Game controller section and see if you find a yellow exclamation mark in front of a name ..

click that, press right mouse button and it should give you option to install driver ..

Re: sound problem

umm if you know what soundcard it is, you can go to the manufactors' site of the sound card and download th e driver from there or if you have a dell you can go to support.dell.com and give it your computer info model and stuff and it'll give you a suggested driver for your sound. ^_^ .

Re: sound problem

XP/Vista should be able to recognize the manufacture of your sound card automatically and should be able to download the driver directly from its website

Re: sound problem

No I am not saying that you dont have XP .. what I am saying that when you follow what I wrote in post #5, Xp should automatically download and install the driver

Re: sound problem

I'm not expert either but trying to help you with my little knowledge.

Start > Control Panel > Sound and then select the device there.

you see the yellow question marks next to “other devices” and list of devices under that … that is your problem ..

Yellow question mark means missing driver.

you have multimedia audio controller driver missing ..

right click on multimedia audio control and see if the drop down menu gives you “Install Driver” option ..

go for “automatic install” option, lets see if that works

otherwise try this
