No Sound

[Guest]

I don't have any sound. I don't know what I could have done.
My son played one of his games on my computer, and I deleted it afterwards.
Maybe it went missing then?
No sound, no sound device, no volume control...

Can anyone help me, I don't know what to do.

Thanks

Hello,

1) Try reinstalling the audio drivers from the drivers disc that should have
come with your PC.
2) Try doing a restore to the point where the problem was not there:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
3) Download and install the latest driver from the manufacturer's website.

I took a disc with audio driver on and re-installed.
That did not bring back sound.

I tried no 2 below, said computer had not changed.

I dont know who manufacturer is? Disc says Motherboard Utilities CD - TUCD
Ver 2.3 ?

Now my mouse won't work properly, the scroll down button in middle is not
working....

Can you help me further?

Thanks

Hello,

Start > Run > "Devmgmt.msc"

Look for your sound card under Sound, Video and Game controllers.

Right-click the item, uninstall. Restart your PC. Reinstall the latest
driver if you are able to find it online, if not, install from CD.

Not even sure which is sound card. I have a list under Sound, video and game
controllers:
Audio codecs, C-Media AC97 Audio Device (which says "This device cannot
start - Code 10)
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
MPU-401 MIDI
Standard Game Port
Video Codecs

Please advise what to do next
Thanks

One more question: to download online, where do I begin to look. Do I do a
search with the name of audio device?

Hello,

This driver should be compatible with yours (2nd row, any of last 3 links)
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx

If reinstalling the driver above does not work, uninstall the C-Media AC97,
restart and try installing the driver you downloaded from the site above.
