no sound output

[Guest]

I have a new laptop (72 hours)- my first computer ever. although i've had
decent experience on many others, i can't seem to get any sound output. i got
on the phone with compaq/hp tech support: they had me reinstall everything
(Wind.Med.Plyr and OS) but to no avail. in the media player, the status bar
of the sound rises and fall like it's working- but it's not. Any clues,
information or help will be supremely appreciated. Thank you.

all the conventional sound checks result in it looking like it works, but no
actual audio output. sorry, i do appreciate your trying to help.

-- Hi dictionary2006 - Not knowing if you mean speaker output or computer
sounds, both are found in Control Panel>Sound. In "Playback" make sure
speakers are "Working".
"Sounds" has your computer sounds settings.
"Personalization" also has related settings. Good luck

Something I found in earlier versions of Windows, but this version did not
do to me, was that my sound 'card' was listed in the Device Manager as
'Unknown', with a question mark, and so - no sound. Deleting the entry and
reinstalling the drivers invariably fixed it (aside: was pleasantly
surprised when did not need to do this for Vista)

Random thought, perhaps, maybe...
