Sound dificulties I have a Compaq Presario desktop computer with the built in sound card and am having some problems with all audio right now. I have every volume control on my computer turned to the max and you can still barely hear anything. I cant figure out what is wrong because my speakers work fine on my other computer. Can you help me?

Hi, it sounds like your onboard sound is faulty,
Purchase and install a PCI sound card, these are reasonable cheap and produce good sound quality.

I have a Compaq Presario SR1000 on XP and the grafics are bad, plus no sound

Hi knightmichea...

If your graphics card and sound card is faulty on your motherboard then replace them with one off the shelf and use the pci slots to put it in on your computer.

Sound problem:
Look for the speaker icon on your desktop in the right bottom portion of the sceen.
Also when you find it, RIGHT click on it, you will have two choices to make, choose and check each one of the choices to make sure that NONE of the boxes on each
choice has a checkmark in Mute,if there is a check mark then uncheck it.
NOTE:In "Open Volume control: you will find slider to adjust for volume,Wave,CD Player,etc.
After that is down, then LEFT click on the speaker icon and make sure that the slider is all the way to the top and that the Mute does not have a check mark,if it does remove the check.
If that does not work the re-install the audio driver for your computer.
Please take time to rate me thumbs up

I have a Compaq Presario 5000 that was given to me. I found out that the copy of Windows XP wasn't genuine so I got a genuine copy. Before I got a valid copy I had sound on my computer just fine, but now I...

Hello there:
the sound card that is used on this computer originaly had the drivers downloaded from the original operating system cd or the actual sound card cd that was installed on the computer. and it is not compatable now with your new installation ok?
so what you can do is to go to the internet and download vinalac97
this is a free sound driver utility that will install a fresh sound device and it even has a built in mixer for you to use
once you start the download it will tell you pretty much step by step on what to do after the download is complete you will be brought to the installation wizzard that will install the device for you ** NOTE during the installation you might have a error message that pops up this is normal just continue do not quit ok?
after the installation is complete you willhave to restart the computer and you will be good to go from there ok?
I hope that this is very helpful for you.
Best regards Michael
