Sound won't work at all.

stephpage93, on Tuesday 12 August 2008 à 21:35:24
Hello, I'm having serious and very annoying trouble with my sound. My sound doesn't make sound. I have a Windows Vista, the other day I reinstalled it and, since then my sound button at the corner of my screen next too the clock has had a little red "x" on it. It saids I don't have any audio devices installed. In "Hardware and Sound" in control panel it saids it's working fine. I have SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC for sound. I hope this isn't my sound card messed up. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that didn't work and i reseted my computer over hundreds of times. Please help.
Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 2.0.0.16

Is this a desktop or laptop? Do you have your sound on a seperate card installed on the computer or is it attatched to the motherboard? usually if it is attatched to the motherboard the sound ports will be beside your monitor, keyboard, mouse port. make sure if the sound is a seperate card that it is pushed all the way into the slot into the motherboard. If it not fully seated this will also cause this problem.
you can do a manual scan for hardware changes in device manager by going to Computer-right click, select manage, then right click sound and select scan for hardware changes.
I am not sure but it could be your sound device driver. you may need to install the device driver for the sound card. This is a disk that come with the card or with the computer if the sound card was already an installed component. If you can't find the disk you can go to the Sound card manufacturers web site and look for the device driver and download it. After the download is complete you will need to do a restart and your sound should then work. After the reinstallation of Vista you need to install all additional drivers for other hardware. The Operating System (Vista)holds many drivers itself wich is how other components are working such as your mouse, monitor, video card,etc. but not always, which is why you need to go to the manufacturers web site and download it. I hope this helps.

I have SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC for sound.

This is what you listed as the sound device. You can go to Device manager by right clicking Computer select manage then select Device manager on the left in the list. Then you select the sound card and it will show the manufacturer. Go to the manufacturer web site for the driver. Make sure the driver says it is for Vista. If no Vista option XP version may be compatible. You may have to open the Computer to get a serial number or model number off the card to look up the correct driver. Make sure the computer is unplugged and you are not on a carpeted surface when you open the computer. MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER WARANTY IS OUT BEFORE YOU OPEN THE COMPUTER TO LOOK AT THE SOUND CARD! This will void any warranty you have. If you still have a coverage call the computer manufacturer for tech. assistance.

if the driver is the problem you should download the Driver Genius software instead of searching at sound drivers websites. that program will search and install a driver compatible with your sound card and iT should solve the problem.
