speakers

[Guest]

My computer speakers are not working at all. The are connected to the
computer and pluged in for power; my mother and i have worked on this alot;
we went to the control panel and clicked on sounds and audio devices and it
says no audio device. We have had this computer for about 2 or 3 years. My
mother put the computer in my room so i could have it and all she did was
unhook the computer and put it in my room she had to buy a new hard drive
because it just didnt want to work. The computer works perfect but the
speakers are just not working at all. I have been to help and support on my
computer and looked and looked for solutions and tried them out and it just
hasnt worked. Can someone PLEASE! help me!?

You will have to re-install sound drivers.. use your sond card or
motherboard CD to re-instate them..

You must know what sound card you have. Look on your receipt/invoice for
the computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it up and
look, etc.

There are applications out there that can identify what hardware you have,
but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I think they
pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I will
recommend you try two different ones:

EVEREST Home Edition

Belarc Advisor

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your
hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you
have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative
Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...

Good luck!
