May have deleted my sound card

lonelyrobot · 05-31-2009, 11:47 PM

I think I may have deleted my sound card when I was deleting programs. I have a Sony Vaio with Windows XP. I get no sounds and when I try to turn up the volume it is can't be adjusted.

How can I fix this?

Youve probably just deleted the drivers. Try a windows update and see if they come up. If not, find out what sound card you have and find the drivers on the internet.

System restore might fix it

I am getting the message there are "no active mixer devices". Where do I go from here?

It doesn't always though. I had a sound problem where even if I did system restore, it wouldn't work and I ended up reinstalling windows.

is it possible that you could post a link up of your exact PC?

Please let me know how to do that and I will.

Under Sound, videp, and game controllers I have 5 listed: Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Devices, Media Control Devices, and Video Codecs.

Brand/Model of the computer. Should be written on the computer itself somewhere...
