No Sound from Computer!

prizmstar · 05-31-2007, 12:02 AM

Hey can someone please help me I have been trying and trying to fix this. There is absolutely no sound coming from my computer. Videos and things play but no sound comes out the speakers or headphones. I've looked for drivers but I can't find any and I really don't even know if I am looking for the right ones because I don't know much about this stuff.

First of all can someone tell me how to tell you what you need to know for this problem like tell me where to find what soundcard I have installed or whatever and then try to help me fix it by getting the drivers or whatever is wrong with it please. I really need sound for my work

This was my daughters computer before me and the sound used to work, they got a virus I guess and have since restored it and given it to me and now everything works but the sound. If that info helps.

Maby this will help too...

what type of computer is it and is the sound card on the mother board or is it a pci card type sound card?

Its a AMD Athlon with XP umm I'm not sure what kind of soundcard I have or if it's on the motherboard or not how do I check that?

Here is another screencap that may or may not help:

Says none right now but it was working at one time so don't know what happened

is it a name brand like hp or compaq or is it just one that somebody built and how you can tell if it is pci or on the motherboard is if it is with the monitor port on the back of the pc or if its on the 2nd half of the back of your pc

It's Systemax. And I'm pretty sure its not with the monitor its on the same part as like the usb ports and stuff.
