There is no program events in sounds/sound and audio devices/control panel. how can i solve this problem ? Thanks.

Please perform the following to determine why you jave no sound.

Following is the keyin sequence for Windows XP - The key-ins will differ somewhat for other Windows operating systems:
Click on START
Click on CONTROL PANEL
Select the Classic View (If not already displayed)
Click on SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES
Double Click on AUDIO DEVICES
Click on the AUDIO tab.
In the Sound Playback dialog box your sound device (something like "AC 97 Audio") should be listed. If it is not, click on the pull-down menu and select it if you can..
If it is NOT listed, perform the checks listed under CORRECTIVE ACTIONS in this procedure.
If it is listed, perform the following tests:
Click on the SOUNDS tab
Set the Sound Scheme to WINDOWS DEFAULT
Click on APPLY and OK
In the Program Events dialog box, click on any event that has a speaker Icon to the left of it
Underneath the Program Events dialog box you will see a small box with a triangle inside
If the triangle is black that means that the operating system has recognized your sound playback devive (sound card).
Click on the triangle.
You should hear the sound through your speakers (the triange will change to a rectangle while the sound is playing)
After the sound plays the black triangle will re-appear.
If the triangle is black and changes to a rectangle when you click on it and you DO NOT hear sound through your speakers either your speakers are plugged into the wrong jack or you have a problem with your speakers. Test or replace the speakers.
If the triange is gray that means that the operating system does not recognize your sound playback device (sound card). Perform the apropriate corrective action below.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
If the playback device is built into the motherboard, the device may not be enabled in the BIOS. Check your BIOS settings. If your sound device is disabled, enable it and repeat this procedure.
If you do not have built-in sound on your motherboard you will need a sound card installed in an expansion slot on the motherboard. This card may not be present. If there is no sound card, install one and then repeat this procedure.
If you do have a playback device installed and enabled you may require a driver update and it's time to seek some professional help from a qualified PC Technician.

Try one of these solution:
1.Try to get the latest update for your XP OS. (i. e latest service pack and update)
2.Try to download Driver for the audio to function properly (if it is external)
3. If you have a built-in sound controller Try to install your motherboard driver to update all its chipsets
4. Check your hardware stability by right clicking the my computer on the desktop,select properties,select hardware tab, select device manager button,under the sound, expand to see all the listings, check to whether audio devices are present.
5.Try to check in the control panel,select sound speech and audio devices,select sound and audio devices, click sounds tab,under the program events select one of those programs and click the play button if sound can be heard.

check your sound driver first.
if sound driver functioning.
go to start button.
>control panel
>sound, speech and audio devices then click sound and audio devices

sound and audio devices properties box appear
>click sound tab
in the program events find start windows and windows logon then browse for media sound input for your windows bootup sound music.

if that way cannot funtioning. you need to reinstall windows to fix this problems.

Start , Control Panel,  Sounds and Audio Devices, Sounds tab, in Program events click on Critical battery alarm, in the Sounds bar below select None, Save sound scheme, Apply.

Have you installed the audio driver? If you have installed an audio driver, it most likely an incorrect one. To check if you have installed a correct audio driver. Go to the Control Panel - click on Sounds and Audio Devices - click on the Sounds tab - click on any of the Program events and click the play button. If you hear a sound from the speakers the audio driver is correctly installed. Also connect a headphone to the laptop and repeat this test.
If you don't hear any sounds and the play button is greyed out, it means the correct version of the audio driver wasn't installed.
You can check if this is true - go to Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Device Manager and look for any devices that have a yellow ? against the device. This indicates a device driver is required to make this device work.
You need to download the correct device driver for your model laptop, and it must be a XP or Vista version that matches the Windows version that is installed on your laptop.

Usually the driver for the sound system got a little screwed up.


According to the documentation; this is what they recommend, however, do not flip out if you have already tried this. Go past this section and I will tell another approach.

Checking your audio functions
To check the system sound on your computer, follow these steps:
1. Select Start > Control Panel.
2. Click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices > Sounds and Audio Devices.
3. When the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window opens, click the Sounds tab. Under
Program events, select any sound event, such as a beep or alarm, and click the test button.
You should hear sound through the speakers or through connected headphones.
To check the record functions of the computer, follow these steps:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder.
2. Click the Record button and speak into the microphone. Save the file to your desktop.
3. Open Windows Media Player and play back the sound.
NOTE: For best results when recording, speak directly into the microphone and record sound in a
setting free of background noise.
▲ To confirm or change the audio settings on your computer, right-click the Sound icon on the
taskbar, or select Start > Control Panel > Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices > Sounds and Audio Devices.

Now, that is the HP way. And I suggest you do that.


Another way would be to find the installation disk. And put it in your drive, then got to Start, Control Panel, System, and when that pops up go to Hardware, and then pick the Device Manager.

Delete the Sound section. Windows will then wander around a bit, but will then try to reinstall them. When it does (and it will ask for the A drive usually) hit browse and point it to whatever drive you have put the installation driver disk in.


Good Luck,
