Hello..
Ever since I put a fresh install of Windows XP Professional on my
computer, 32 bit btw, I have not been able to get sound to come out
of my speakers.. Yes, I did install the drivers from my
manufacturer's website, and even installed a program called Driver
checker to install all the missing drivers I needed.. But still, no
sound. Headphones don't even work so I know it's not the speakers
fault, it's obviously some kind of driver messing it up or
something.. Anyone have any ideas? I can supply screenshots of
anything, if needed.
I can tell you that after having looked at your screenshot from your
*previous* thread (you really should not have started a new one!), that
you did *not* successfully install the drivers for your audio.
Both Elmo and Jose instructed you to download the Realtek driver from
this page:
http://support.dell.com:80/support/...bIndex=&scanSupported=False&scanConsent=False
Of course, downloading isn't enough; you need to *install* it, too! You
apparently didn't respond with a message about whether or not you tried
this.
For your convenience:
