Re: my sound doesnt work

Is this a new problem?

Any new hardware or software?

What is the make and model of your computer?

Have you checked your settings via start > Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices

Re: Help! No Sound!

EDIT: Just noticed duplicate threads after I posted the below questions. Threads merged.

Did the sound just stop working, was it OK recently?

Has any new hardware or (sound related) software recently been installed?

Does Device Manager have any yellow ! marks regarding the sound device?

Are the appropriate drivers loaded for the sound device?

Is the sound device onboard chipset or an add-in PCI card?

You need to get the drivers from the manufacturer's web site.
