Sound

[Dwtx]

I recently just lost all sound on my computer..The speakers are humming but I
can get no sound at all. Any troubleshooting tips would be great.

I am getting the same active mixer devices not available that some other
users have found. I have tried a couple of fixes that were suggested on here
but no luck. Has anyone found anything that works for this.

Yes. Installing a mixer...the software - NOT just drivers - that came with
your sound card.

Well even if he doesn't, and it's just built into the MB, he can still
download some updated drivers for it.

I don't know for sure. But the possibility exists.

either help the op or shut up!

[sgopus]

cause he said his sound was working and it stopped ding dong! DUH!

 

[sgopus]

do you have any exclamation marks in your hardware list under devices in
control panel ?

Have you checked all your wires and connections to ensure they are plugged
in correctly and firmly.

Yes. Installing a mixer...the software - NOT just drivers - that
came with your sound card.

Also - especially if you had sound previously which means you also had a
mixer - go to...

Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Services

....and assure that Windows Audio is both running and set to run
automatically.

DUH! That doesn't mean nor even indicate he has a sound card.

You shut up. You don't even know many computers do NOT have sound cards.

 

[sgopus]

You shut up, your post is not helping, just starting a side arguement.
either lend a helping hand or butt out.

Go back and read the origination of this post. You jumped in the middle and
don't even know computer configurations.
