Sound Problem

Guest

Hey all, I'm new around here, because... well... I need some help!

Right, to the point... My sound was working perfectly fine... I was on the
computer listening to music and such.

So I'm on MSN and someone asks me if they can test their webcam. So I agree,
and see it's working and such. When it was on, I heard loud static, and it
hurt my ears so I closed the window. Anyways, after that there was no sound
at all.

I had checked that all drivers were working, it was unmuted, volume was up
ect. and checked the help wizards before posting here. There's nothing wrong
with my speakers or any of my drivers or anything, but I cannot hear sound.

I also used system restore but there was nothing changed...

I'm thinking MSN pathed sounds differently or something after it was
used.... Can someone please help me fix my sound?

Scotty, did you check in Device Manager>Sound, Video and Game
Controllers. Any yellow marks next to the devices listed? Check Control
Panel>Sound and Audio Devices> Audio Tab>Default Device.

Yea, I did... There's no yellow marks or anything it's all clean!

That's what puzzles me.

Scotty, I would go into the Bios and disable the audio chip if that's
your configuration or if PCI Sound Card remove from
slot. Restart the computer without those devices then shut down. Reinsert
if PCI card or enable the audio chip in the Bios
and reinstall the drivers for it.

Reckon you could give me a walkthrough of how to do that? I'm not that
skilled. Thanks

It sounds as though either your sound card or speakers may have died. Can
you replace these one at a time? It would, at least eliminate these as a
possible cause of the problem!

Thanks guys. Apparently MSN turned down my Wave volume to it's lowest, which
in conclusion made nothing come out of the speakers. Got it, without having
to do all that stuff with BIOS, risk of destroying my computer! ^^

Thanks again.
