I have no sound on my computer and it just sudddenly quit.

Hi Gerry, if your HP's video card is capable of running the game, you can update the video driver. I would suggest trying the HP Driver Download Support website first. Here's the link: Drivers Downloads.

If your video card is not capable of running the game, you will want to look into a different video card.

Hope that helps you out! :)

It clearly shows that the driver for your computer is not installed. OR this software may require support of a sound software as well EX Sound Blaster.

Make sure that the sound otherwise is working fine on the computer

One of the most important things for transfering files from a camera to a computer is the software installed on the computer. Perhaps you did forget you installed this when your camera was new. The software came with the camera.
Try reinstalling the software that came with you camera, or us an external memory card reader. You don't need extra software to transfer the file from the card to your computer, but you still need software to play the video. You also could try to install a free video player like gom player. There are more free players. There are so many different video formats, so chose one that can play lots of different video formats, if you don't have the Sony CD or DVD.

When trying to isolate and diagnose the specific cause of any computer fault, think back to when the computer was working normally and then list any hardware, software or settings changes between that time and when the fault you are experiencing first appeared.

Sound/Audio problems are often caused by simple settings errors. Before trying anything else, think if you have connected any new device or installed or used any new software on the computer that is Sound/Audio-related (such as a cellphone, an MP3/MP4/MP5 player, a bluetooth device, a microphone, a Voice Over Internet Protocol [VOIP] Headset or multiplexing device, a dial-up modem or dial-up modem based transaction or stock keeping or postal franking device, a multimedia player, a speech recognition program, media playing software, fax/phone software, etc., etc. Any of these sorts of devices or software are capable of changing a computer's default Sound/Audio settings.

Reset the Sound/Audio to the correct default device - start -> control panel -> sounds speech and audio devices/hardware and sounds -> audio -> select main audio on-board chip or sound card from the Playback Device drop down menu or the panel of different device options -> apply -> OK -> restart computer.

Quite often nothing more needs to be done to restore Sound/Audio that was disabled by settings changes or errors.


If none of the above suggestions solves the problem, then the cause might be a possible Sound/Audio Driver conflict, corruption or file deletion issue. Uninstall all components of the installed Sound/Audio Driver from Add or Remove Programs/ Uninstall a Program or its equivalent in your Operating System - > restart the computer -> reinstall the Sound/Audio Driver from the Drivers and Utilities Installation Disc or download, save (so as to create and keep on the computer the Sound/Audio Driver Setup Files in case of future Sound/Audio Driver problems) and install it from the Support and Download pages of the Acer website -> restart the computer.

The Sound/Audio Driver for this model can be downloaded from here once you enter your precise Model Number (usually to be found on a label on the underside of the netbook) :

The first thing to do is remove the sound card to see if the computer works without it. If you are still having problems starting, then you'll have to look for a different reason the computer won't start. Quite possibly you disconnected something when you installed the card. Check for that.

Removing the sound drivers In Windows XP, click Start , and right-click My Computer .In indows 95, 98, and Me, right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.Click Properties from the list that appears.In Windows XP, click the Hardware tab, then the Device Manager button.In indows 95, 98, and Me, click the Device Manager In Windows XP, click Uninstall (the small picture of a computer overlaid by an X In Windows 95, 98, and Me, click Remove .Click OK when a warning window appears.Continue to remove sound devices that relate to the audio card brand (not Legacy) until all have been removed. If the device is a combination sound-modem card, remove devices related to the brand name listed under Modem as well.Close all programs and turn off the PC.Back to top Step 2: Disabling on-board sound Skip this step if the PC does not have onboard sound. If PC does have onboard sound, do the following to disable it Turn on the PC and press the F1 key repeatedly at the first logo screen. "Entering Setup" should appear on the screen.In the Setup screen, press the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to highlight Advanced. Press the DOWN ARROW key until Onboard Audio , Onboard Audio Options , or I/O Device Configuration is highlighted, press ENTER .If another menu appears, press the DOWN ARROW key until Onboard Audio codecs or Audio Codec is highlighted, press ENTER .Press the DOWN ARROW key until Disabled is highlighted, press ENTER .Figure 2: Example of one possible Onboard Audio BIOS setting Press F10 , then the Y key, to save the settings and exit.Turn off the power and continue to Step 3.The edges of metal panels can cut skin. Be careful not to slide skin along any interior metal edge of the computer.This product contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To reduce the chance of ESD damage, work over a noncarpeted floor, use a static dissipative work surface such as a conductive foam pad), and wear an ESD wrist strap connected to a grounded surface.Unplug all cables except for the power. Write down each cable location if you do not already know where it connects.Unplug the power cable and with the power cable removed press the Power button on the front of the PC.Remove the screws on the rear of the PC.Figure 3: Side Panel screws (your PC may be different Slide the side panel off from the rear of the PC.Figure 4: Side Panel removal (your PC may be different Step 4: Removing the sound card Use this section to remove the sound card. If the PC was using onboard sound and you do not have to remove it, skip to Step 5 .Locate the sound card inside computer case. Use the speaker connections on the back as a reference. Disconnect any cables that are plugged into the back and sides of the sound card. Carefully note where each cable was installed.Remove the one screw that holds the sound card to the chassis. If a metal plate covers up the screw, then remove this plate first.Figure 5: Screw that attaches card to case Grasp the sound card by its edges and slide it out of its slot.Figure 6: Card removal If the sound card is a combination sound-modem card, disconnect all cables from the modem and remove it in the same way that the sound card was removed.5: Installing the sound card Insert the new sound card into an open compatible slot. If you have a sound-modem ombination card, insert the new modem card into an open slot as well. Attach the card or cards with one retaining screw. Replace the metal plate if it was used.Connect all the cables back to their original positions : Replacing the cover Replace a side panel by matching the side panel tabs with the tab openings in the case.

Normally a CD is inserted after Windows finds the new hardware and displays a message.If the new sound card is a replacement for an original card that came with the PC, Windows should find and install the software automatically. If needed, you can install/reinstall the sound software using the HP Application Recovery software that came with your HP or Compaq PC.Original and updated drivers may also exist on the HP Website. After installing the original driver, go to Software and Driver Downloads site and enter your PC model number to find software and driver downloads.f a window appears stating that it needs help finding particular files, place the driver disc from the soundcard manufacturer into a disc drive. If this does not help, browse to the following pathnames, one at a time, until the file is found: C:indows\inf
C:\Windows\options\cabs
C:\Windows\system
C:\Windows\system32
If the files under these pathnames do not appear, open the C:\ from My Computer . Click Tools , Folder Options , and click the View tab. Remove the checkmarks from Hide protected operating system files , and select Show hidden files and folders . Click OK .Restart the PC and test for sound.

1) Go to: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices > Audio tab
2) Check what's under "Sound playback: Default device". If these fields are grey and non-clickable, then most probably the audio card driver is missing or less probably the audio card itself is broken.
3A) If you have an original CD of your computer, motherboard, or audio card, insert the CD and install the driver from it.
3B) Or alternatively insert the CD and go to: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware > Device Manager, find any unidentified device in the list, or expand the "Sound, video and game controllers" branch, identify the Audio card > Right click > Update driver... > Install the software automatically > Next
3C) Or alternatively download and install a free driver updater software, e.g. http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/index.htm - let it scan and update all your missing drivers.
P.S. These steps mentioned above are for Windows XP, but will be quite similar on other Windows versions, too.

Hmmm.. sounds like assignments got crossed/reassigned possibly when the router was installed.

Have you looked down the list of System Hardware (control panel) to see if you have any Exclamation Marks that indicate a problem to look at?

Have you looked at the settings on the speakers in the computer? i.e. mute, equalizers, volume sliders, and even some audio software differentiates between the different connections on the back and front of your computer. Try clicking or right-clicking on the little speaker in your system tray (the icons at the end of the Start bar).. you may even have an icon in there for an audio program that you want to check out.

You can try a previous restore point, but pay special note of anything you've installed or changed since that time.

Just installing software for the router shouldn't necessitate opening up the computer, although an old tactic would be to pull the sound card out and reseat it back into the slot. Since you don't want to do that, I don't think you're missing anything unless you bumped it by accident when you were attaching the cable to the router. Since it was "immediate" I would be focused on software issues as you indicate.

You might even check out the support for the Labtec website rather than the MS route you've taken already.

Good luck!!

Right this problem could be the result of a couple of possible faults, the first thing to do is rule out the cables. Try connecting your PC to a monitor using a different cable... check all the connections. Try connecting you PC to another monitor again... If you are still not getting a picture It sounds like you have a problem with your computer's graphics card - new graphics cards are fairly cheap and quite simple to install.

This is quite impossible to provide a single universal audio driver for any computer..

No company has created the drivers yet.

You need to check out what is the sound card installed in the computer and go to the manufacturer website and try to download from there
