My sound has disappeared....

[Charles...]

Hi peeps....

My pc was working fine, has been for ages.....

I added a pci freeview tv card, i had to remove the modem which was in one
of those small slots right next to the spare pci slot so that I could fit
it.... all went normal.... tuner worked, sound worked, but that was
yesterday....

now, today I noticed my sound had disappeared & the tuner software refused
to run, after trying all I could think of, I uninstalled & removed the
freeview card & refitted the modem, back to as it was...

still no change....

I reinstalled the sound driver for the SIS 7012 onboard sound, but no
change....

I look in 'control panel/Sounds & audio devices' it states 'no audio device'
& all is greyed out, under the other headings of audio & voice options I
seem to have 'modem #0 line playback' & 'modem #0 line record' & nothing
else to change to....

But... Under device manager the audio drivers are there & it also states the
device is working properly

I tried a system restore to prior to this, but it simply doesnt let it go
back....

How on earth do I get round this crazy position... ?



btw, I have a 512mb p4 imedia 5064, which has the GA-8SIML rev 2.0 mobo

hi

i get a similar problem with my laptops sound devices, except for some
reason, all of my sound devices like the mixer and all that stuff keeps being
disabled, so i have t enable it and reboot, and sometimes that doesn't work
so i have to repeat the process.

does anyone know why this happens?
i don't know what type of sound card or drivers i have so any required
information, can you please specify where to find that information

thanx

well, another few hours wasted.... even removed the sound driver again etc
even the voice modem too this time.... & let windows sort it out.... windows
found the devices...

still, no change.... if I dig through audio driver properties I still get
'the device is working properly' but under its hardware properties part I
found 'driver is enabled but has not been started'..... ?@#!

I give up, Ive had enough.... Im off to bed....
