I uninstalled my volume, now i dont hear a thing and i have done the control panel thing, but the sound section is blank. what do i download to get my volume back on my computer. my laptop is windows xp

Can you use your SYSTEM RESTORE function? You can find it:
Start> all programs> accessories> system tools>system restore.

If this doesn't fix it, I always fall back on Realtek Audio sound drivers. I've never found anything that Realtek wouldn't get the sound working on yet. You can google it and download it for free.

Short of that, it sounds like you will need to restore your sound drivers to make your sound work.

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
you might have to uninstall then restart your computer then reinstall both the sound drivers and the sound card make sure you have both of these devices backed up to a disc before uninstalling
a yellow? question mark means you need to install/update driver to do this
right click to install driver also
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers
click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select appropriate speakers also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there
also
click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar
if his does not fix the problem

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check
the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer dont forget to vote
hope this helps

Hello Chaeyon, hi when you TV has no sound, check first some user controls, like if the volume is low? is the mute enable? If this things did not work, I want you to place your ear close to the speakers, then adjust the volume up and down several times. You should hear a soft hiss that goes up and down also, If this is missing, you have power amplifier problems, this would or may go for an IC amplifier replacement or a loose loudspeaker, and may go to the main sound circuit section for checking. This should be done by a technician. Is your TV on warranty check this out first.

Things you can check:
speakers on and connected, volume on
sound control in the OS, start it in control panel to adjust volume

Try installing the audio driver again, if you do not have this driver on a CD, then you need to download the drivers from the Compaq/HP WEB support/download page. Make sure you select your model laptop and the XP or Vista Windows version of the drivers you require and install them. Click on this link to download the drivers: -

I thing this problem because a SoundMax driver conflict with windows vista.I thing you should update your SoundMax driver (if you have) or if you using the old AVG,upgrade it.

The mic has a volume control in the Control Panel:

[Start]
[Control Panel]
[Sounds and Audio Devices]
Click on the [Audio] tab
In the "Sound Recording" section, click on [Volume]
Move the volume bar .... well, you know...

Go to your computer start menu. Then to control panel, then system sound /audio devices. Locate the master audio control. There should be a slider for Mic. Adjust this volume until you hear your voice. Depending on your computer built in soundcard the volume/quality will vary. You might consider a external soundcard.
