Title: Computor geek....Not! Idiot....Yes!
Post by: BjornBee on November 05, 2008, 08:44:28 am
For the past two weeks, I have had no working speakers. I had thought that maybe a cat had pulled a loose wire in the back of the computor. But that does not seem to be it.

My question...is there a sound card or another card that could go bad that is making this problem? Or is it perhaps an internal computor setting that was switched? Without asking me too many questions, since I'm a computor idiot, is there a setting or something in the "programs" or "my computor" area of the system setup that could of caused this?

Any suggestions or comments welcome. Thank you.

Go into settings, control panel, click computer management and check the list under volume or sound settings, you could start there.

Not trying to be a wise guy, but check to make sure the speakers have power and the volume is turned up.  I've seen it more than once where the wall wart fro the speakers went bad.

Thank you.

I went through the settings, checked power, connection look good....but nothing. I'll keep looking.

It could be you lost the sound drivers. Find out what kind of sound your motehrboard has and reinstall the drivers.

you asked if the card could go bad, of course it could. but is there a card?, or is the sound on the motherboard, usually if you didn't put a sound card in, its on the board. if thats the case you could add a card. and simply disable on board sound in the bios. thats hit del key when it boots, look under devices or hardware but don't click until your sure, it should say sound, something, just disable it. and no becasue every board maker is different. HP, compaq/ del/ all different, the same ,, but different. U can google it ,, just go to google and type in how to disable sound on bhah blah ,  HP dt5400 or compaq presario, or dell latitude what ever the model is. there will be a hundred directions, pick the one you can undestand the best. .
