the sound on my laptop was working and now its not the icon on the right hand side is up full but still no sound can you help

my computer wont make any sound with any audio device
i dont think system restore is any good since i just reinstalled my computer with a windows xp cd
any help?

you again reinstall the sound wizard.

Windows Media Player often uses a different type of wiring to deliver sound from audio CD's to your speakers, often bypassing the need for a sound card completely. (If you are familiar with the internals of PC's, the CD AUDIO CABLE is usually a small grey cord that goes directly from the back of your CD ROM to a port on the sound card or motherboard. This basically acts as a conduit bypassing the sound card completely. This is why an audio CD may work but other sounds do not.

To be exactly sure what is going on, you need to test other windows sounds. Forget the audio CD's for a minute. Go find some MP3's or a .WAV and try to play it. Since your volume icon is gone now too, you will likely get an error if you try to play any other sound besides CD AUDIO.

Also, check your DEVICE MANAGER and tell us if everything in there looks ok or if anything has the dreaded yellow exclamation point or question mark. If there is an exclamation point or question mark, you can sometimes right click and try to UPDATE DRIVER for that device. It sometimes can download a replacement driver from the Windows Update location.

If the UPDATE DRIVER does not work (and you still have an exclamation point or question mark) then you may need to download the drivers directly from the manufacturer of your PC or sound card.

And incase you are not sure how to get to DEVICE MANAGER, you can right click on the MY COMPUTER icon and then go to MANAGE. Then there is a DEVICE MANAGER heading on the left you can click on. You could also right click MY COMPUTER and go to PROPERTIES, then click on the SYSTEM tab and then click the DEVICE MANAGER button.

I hope that may help!

Hello,

First try System Restore to the last point before u lost the sound.
XP : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/support/sysrestore.mspx
Vista : http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/...

If it doesn't match, come back and tell the brand and the model of ur computer. Or of ur MoBo if ur computer is no-branded.

Reinstall sound wizard sounds great...and...where would that be?

I sometimes lose the sound on my computer. Before doing anything else, go to My Computer then Control Panel then Sound and Audio Devices. I sometimes find that the sound is turned to mute. I am the only one using this computer, so this must happen when I go to certain sites.

Hope this helps someone.

you again reinstall the sound wizard.

Hi,

First try to restore ur system on the point just before u lost ur sound :
Start/All the programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.

If that doesn't match, u'll have to re-install ur sound card.
Tell the brand and the model of ur computer (or of ur MB if ur computer is a no-brand one) and I probably will be able to give u a linK for free downloading the driver u need.

tnanks for ever
