Rob_P Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Righty,Just fully formatted and reinstalled windows. Nearly back to normal now after re-installing everything but the only thing I can't get back is my sound. I run sound through my amp and speakers through a cable into the headphone socket. Pretty common.Now when I go into iTunes or whatever it dosen't even play, videos play but theres no sound.I've been through the help and support but it's just a bismal so thought someone here may know The only sound device it detects is the webcam....Here yar... (without the webcam plugged in)When I go to Start>all programs> accessories> entertainment>volume control I get this:When I go control panel> sound audio devices:In the device manager:Checked and they all say there working properly but still no sound?Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!!!!!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikenipple Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 You need to install your sound drivers from the installation files for that particular sound card.If it's built in to your motherboard, find the model number of your board and go onto the manufacturer's website and download the drivers from there.If it's an external card then find the make/model and download the drivers from the respective website.

MadChikken Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Need 2 know what soundcard/audio chipset on the motherboard first, then can find the correct drivers to install. Depending on the brand of motherboard you can usually get the correct audio drivers off the website. If you dont know what the motherboard is try any of the install cd's that came with the computer..Bit more info and cud probly help M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
