WTF why dont i have sound?

[patricky]

I lent my computer to my sister and since i got it back there is no sound.
I checked the volume settings, they are maxed.
When i check device driver there is no error, wtf is going on?
I have the msi 915pm neo v motherboard, its onboard sound.

ask her what she did first and if she doesn't know try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for your sound

1. Ensure that Windows sound is not "muted"
2. Check to see if speakers are turned "on" and volume is up
3. Make sure your speaker wire wasnt disconnected from your sound card/PC
4. Reboot your PC ?
5. long shot...could the speakers have gone bad? {blown out etc}

This is by no means to insult your intelligence sometimes its jsut easy to start with the basics

best of luck!

The speakers work, i tested them on another computer.
I tried all these already.
Damn i dont understand why no error is coming up.

 

[Jabes]

[patricky]

[patricky]

And As I Said, Its Onboard Sound

alright alright dude just chill out

So the onboard died...

yeah maybe for some reason the onboard audio is screwed..i duno why but i suppose it doesnt last forever.

why not just buy a cheap sound card?

go to sound settings in control panel. click on the tab "sounds" and in windows sound scheme select windows default(modified).
not sure if this will work , but this is what i did the last time my sound went off .
