Sound not working

thermophilis · 03-09-2008, 12:05 AM

For some reason my sound just stopped working, whenever I try to play audio I get an error and when I open up the audio settings in control panel I see this

anyone have any ideas?

-Eric

edit: I should also mention, on the audio tab all the fields to select playback device are grayed out. and the grey speaker icon to control sound is not in the system tray, but the program for the sound card (Realtek HD audio manager) is there, I've tried going through the device manager, and it says that the sound card is enabled, I also cannot find the drivers anywhere, the sound card is a Realtek AC883, just regular onboard audio, sorry for the lack of information before, I'm just desperate to get this fixed.

hey check under hardware for the driver and to see if it is working properly and i'm assumeing you don't have the driver cd that came with the sound card

Oh wow, hey, thanks I never expected to get a response, I've actually fixed it, which I probably should have said.
Thanks though!
