if your computer came with a motherboard disk the sound drivers could be on it control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select appropriate speakers or audio you will find 3 drop down lists make the necessary adjustmentsthere or control panel,administrive tools,computer management,device manager,sound video and game controllers could be a yellow question mark? right click to re-install drivers hope this helps
You need another sound system. If it's xp it is probably ac 97. However; go to windows update, make sure you have all of the updates. Then go to the control panel, device manager and look for a yellow question mark or a yellow exclamation mark, if there, right click and click update driver or click uninstall from the system, restart the computer and windows will look for the drivers, just follow on screen directions.
Identify your sound board - visit the manufacturer website ... search your model and get the driver. You can look in the Device Manager for this information. You may also wish to update or download the driver from within the device manager.
You may wish to go to www.pcpitstoplcom and have your computer scanned. The website will provide you with a free report on all aspects of your computer, software installed, memory, names of components and what drivers are installed and or missing.
This is a free service of PCPITSTOP, though they do sell stuff there. It is certainly worthwhile to take advantage of this free service.
If you need additional help with this, please let me know.
beck up your all files, then install a New Operating system, u install and un-install it, therefore it seems that some files are missing. and the fact is not installing and showing the device again.
so install a fresh O.S, and install it again,, and Enjoy..
good luck
If you have the cd for the motherboard, you can install the driver for your sound. Look in device manager under sound video and game controllers, and find your sound card. I had the same problem when I put in a new hard drive, I didnt have any sound so I had to install the driver from the cd. If you don't have the cd, you can always find the driver on the web. a good site to check is www.driver.com
thats problem regardiong to your windows version if its working proerly when newly installed than may some files delted during some uninstalation can do all this stuff, so try to install new full version windows xp than try ,i m sure about that your problem will fixed up.
Go to Start----Control Panel----Add Hardware and go through the detection wizard. You also need to name the new drive by right clicking on My Computer and press Manage----Storage----Disc Management. The new drive should show up without a letter for the drive. Right click on the new drive and choose Change Drive Letter And Paths. You can also format it there too if you havn't already.
