I have no sound on my computer

[Daniel Ransom]

Hi

I have been searching online through forums, websites & downloading driver
applications for the past couple of weeks and still unable to find a solution.

I had sound on my computer when i purchased it. I installed an older version
of windows xp onto my computer because my games i bought were not installing.
(only to later find out that my video card was the issue) When windows xp was
done re-installing i went to windows update website and installed all
available updates.

After i restarted my computer i noticed i had no sound coming from my
speakers & the computer its self. In device manager I still manage to have
yellow question marks next to certain drivers. My main concern is the sound
anything else that's wrong that you guys may be able to help me with will be
appreciated. By the way i think i have been told by a mate i need to know
what it says on my motherboard and sound card although i have not really any
idea how to find out this information correctly.

If it is easier i will post screen shots of what i think may help.

Daniel, to find out what you have you can try a free program such as
Belarc. It will provide you with an inventory of your computer. Just google
Belarc and download.

Thanks guys for your reply, although I've decided to take it to the shop
instead. since its only going to cost about $50 to fix, it saves me the
hassle of trying to do it myself . However i will look into "Belarc" and see
if it can save me a few dollars i don't really mind parting with. Everything
else everyone has suggested i have already tried.

I will get back to everyone and to see how i went.

Easiest thing is to start up your computer, it usually says what kind of
motherboard you have.

For example I used to have an ASUS A7N8X. I then went to the ASUS website
and downloaded the sound drivers for that model and installed them.

I went to cnet website to look up my computers drivers & lucky enough i have
sound again, so thanks guys for all of your help
