Sound not working - Shows in device manager as ok. Properties are unavailable. I tried to reinstall driver. It was working at one time. I had to replace hard drive. Is there a connection under the keyboard that could have been disconnected, if so, where?

if the drives are working, leave it be. There can be false positives. If the drives are slow or some thing else is odd, try the following solutions. Try to locate the driver needed by going to system devices and looking for a yellow or red icon next to a device. If there are no marked devices, you are probably ok.
Computer icon, properties, select device manager.
Open the properties for that device. details tab, properties and select hardware id. Copy the hardware id information and google it (sample:IDE\CdRomATAPI_iHAS324___B_______________________AL1A____ trimmed and adjusted becomes IDE\Cd Rom ATAPI iHAS324) Find drivers for that hardware if you can and update. You can also just uninstall the device and click rescan from the device manager menu. It should reinstall.

Check the device manager for any sound driver issues to do this

1. Click start -> right click on computer/My computer -> left click on properties

2. Go to Device Manager

If Windows XP

2.1 System Properties window will appear -> Click on Hardware Tab
2.2 Under Hardware Tab -> Click on Device Manager

If Windows Vista or later versions

2.1 Click on Device manager located on the upper left side of the Properties Window

3. Under Device Manager try to check if there is Other Devices among the list

4. If there is Multimedia Sound or any association with Sound

5. If there is just reinstall the sound driver using the disk that was given to you by the computer manufacturer.

6. usually the disk is the mainboard disk that came with the computer

Please try to check your audio by right click (mouse) My Computer icon (on the desktop screen) > click Properties > select Hardware tab above > click Device Manager tab > click +Sound, Video & Game Controllers > double click your selected Audio Controller device- wherein you can see if the device status is working properly as well as if the Device Usage is Enabled, if not click Troubleshoot tab.

Or you can also check your Sound / Control device thru Start > Contol Panel > Sounds, Speech & Audio Devices > Sound & Audio Devices - wherein you can adjust the volume & test your sound.

Or you will have to reinstall the sound driver. best regards

You will find the correct drivers by browsing to Compaq's home page and submitting the model number of your Compaq

remove any fifa components from add/remove programs

Is there sound with head phones, does device manager show its working ok - search the manufacturer plus model of Your computer with sound driver after it to locate and reinstall

or check any instalation disks You got with the machine to install

if device manager shows its ok (right click my computer, left click properties, choose hardware tab then device manger - see whats listed under sound and audio devices , any red X's etc)
if it looks ok in there - open all Your audio programs, real, win media and any others make sure none are on mute and up full volume

lastly go into control panel souns and audio devices, on audio tab make sure You have Your sound card as default audio playback - - - where their any other hardwares that came with the game, i.e headsets, joypads etc that could have set themselves to the default audio devices?
