no audio on my computer

**JohannesLo** · October 7th, 2007, 01:10 PM

Started my computer as usual a week ago, everything was as usual but I couldn't play any music. no audio came out of my computer. I've tried a lot but nothing seems to work. Even installed a portable audiocard to the computer but still... did not work.

Does someone have a clue what I can do to fix the audio??

What have you tried? Check the volume control on the PC? On the speakers? Try unplugging everything, and plugging everything back in?

I tried the most you could think of. it is so strange. and the audio card is intregrated on the mother board aswell..

Did you reinstall the audio drivers?

JohannesLo, When was the last time you did a pc maintenance? Like defrag. your hd or clean your registries.

Just a reminder....

If you installed a new soundcard, make sure that you plug the speakers into the new soundcard instead of the old (which im sure you did) AND make sure you disabled your non-working card in the control panel and enable (if disabled) the new one.

I can fix this. OK. Sounds like your speakers aren't plugged in. Check that. Then check a headphone socket on the computer. Still no sound? Check that the drivers are installed correctly (a disc should have come with the PC).

Is there sound coming from other places? Like in reality (the place outside the PC, where people play sports) if not then you are deaf, pleae consult a doctor as soon as possible.
