New speakers. Other speakers dont work ither on it. I dont know what kind of sound card i have. All i know is that it used to work. I have tryed rebooting my computer a neumerous amout of times.enmt seem to help..... *Sigh*

did u go to the control panel to check everything is okay with the settings?

 

[spyrorocks]

Yes. It says the hardware is functioning properly.

Ok then Reinstall It. Remove first & install again It will work as I think.

 

[Corey]

If you have the speaker icon in the bottom right of the screen open the volume controls up. Go to options and properties and make sure you have the correct playback device picked.

Thanx to all so far. I really appreciate it. My sound card's name thingy is: realtec ac97 audio My speaker brand is: ???? Lost the box... It doesent say on the speakers either. All it says is "CA". How do i uninstall my sound thingy and reinstall it?

 

[Corey]

Well speakers shouldn't really matter.. it doesn't sound like you're sound card is working.. is it integrated sound?
-Corey

 

[spyrorocks]

I know... Maybe if i just uninstall my sound card then reinstall it, it will work... Um, how do you do that? Whats "Intergrated Sound"?

 

[Corey]

Integrated means it is built into the motherboard and not a separate card.. Do you know how to get into device manager?
-Corey

 

[spyrorocks]

Kinda, I think all i have to do is uninstal;ll it then reinstall it. Could you give me step-by-step instructions?Or anyone?

 

[Corey]

Go to control panel>>system>>hardware>>device manager>>sound, video and game controllers... in there you can right click and uninstall it.

-Corey

 

[spyrorocks]

how do i reinstall it? are there any risks in uninstalling it?

 

[Corey]

When you restart the computer it will recognize the hardware again... what kind of computer do you have? Most likely Windows XP will install it for you, worst case you have to get the drivers.

-Corey

 

[spyrorocks]

OK, so then if i have to get the drivers again, what do i do?

 

[spyrorocks]

I have windows xp, and the directions that you gave me dont apply foer thast...

 

[Corey]

Do you have MSN? We can do a remote session and I'll show you.

No. Im only 11 and my mom freaks out when ever i use it. Im pretty good at understanding instructions though. Just give me some that apply to windows xp.
