Re: No sounds on Vista.


You may have had one the updates get corrupted during installation. I'm
happy to hear that most of your issues have been resolved so far.

You might also run a "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) command to see if it
can find and fix any bad system files. This tutorial will show you how
to if needed.

Hello,

Have you installed your audio drivers?

Also check in the Taskbar properties in the tutorial below to make
sure
that you have the "Volume" icon checked to enable it, then make sure
that the volume is not muted and that the volume level is up high
enough
to hear it.

Hope this helps,

Also look in your device manager and see if under the Sound card
section
if
any of the devices there have any warnings (Yellow or red flag).
that
could
indicate a defective sound card or a driver problem.

Also if you have a sound card, make sure your speakers are
plugged
directly
into it and not into your computers internal sound jack. If you
do have a
sound card and you recently installed it (And this problem
occurred) you
may
have to go into your bios and turn off the computers internal
sound card
(If
one exists). > >

No problem could be found. A system-restore fixed it. I'm not picking
on MS
but it seems many of these problems started after a large download of
"updates." I did a restore from before those updates and that solved
most
of the "issues."
