My computer have no sounds...its been reformat then the sound is off

Direct sound is actually referring to Direct X drivers. Do a search for Direct X drivers and download and install the correct ones for your sound card and operating system. Also, if you think your sound card drivers maybe part of the problem go to the Sound Card manufacturer website and download the drivers for your sound card and operating system.

Isit onboard sound or sound card?

Just search your Motherboard number, example "Sound Drivers for Asus K7VM2"

Or do the exact same for your sound card, Example. "Creative Soundblaster Live Drivers"

Every Motherboard website and Sound Card Website have a website, where normally u can get drivers from, if not...another site will have the drivers.

Hello,
After reformatting the computer you want to make sure you have the drivers for your sound card.
If your sound card is built in you will need the driver set for your motherboard.
Thanks,
Pat

Hi,
After reformatting you must install the sound drivers. These are found on installation disc that came with your machine or at mfg website. Hank

Looks like you haven't installed your audio drivers.

i think you have not installed the sound card driver

Hi,
You'll have to install the required sound drivers for the sound card.
You can find the drivers here:

Don't buy the card.First Try to install it's driver.Tell me sound card's name and it's model by opening Pc's cassing i will give the direct link of it's driver over internet. It can be integrated or Built-out card. If you can't do so get the help of your buddy

I need to know the brand of the motherboard and its model/code number or model... then i'll know what sound driver is appropriate to your computer...

I'll wait.

please define "reformat". A reformat to me means a complete "renewal" of both hard drive and op sys. If you agree, then windows did not detect your sound card during re-install. Open device manager and look for ant yellow markings next to the list of the sound system drivers. Those markings are telling you there is a driver problem, so proceed to update the drivers for each device. (for help-post back). If no devices exist in the list, then you must do the following: 1.) if secondary "plug-in" sound card, power down, remove card, power up to windows, shut down windows, plug in card, start windows. 2.) if MOBO-based sound, open BIOS screen at startup and ensure that all options are enabled for sound.
