Re: No sound

thanks... no sound max in control panel.. I went to the link where the
drivers were, but it was pretty confusing .. so many to choose from! and I
remembered I had it on cd so reinstalled it.. still no sound! here's my
question.. if the port is bad.. how do I determine this.. is there a way to
scan my ports online.. and if it turns out to be a bad port.. are there
instructions somewhere on how to replace it.. I'm not going to be replacing
it.. my friend will do this.. She's more informed about hardware.. but not
sure she has ever done this.. so... any help appreciated.. thanks so much,
Rainy

Hello,

Look in Control Panel for any item containing the name of SoundMax.

You might also want to download the latest drivers for your model.

I think I left something off, sorry! .. my sound is onboard.. Asus is the
name of the motherboard, and Soundmax is the name of the sound card... I
didn';t find a utility .. I did a search for soundmax and came up empty
handed, and went to control panel for audio and sounds.. but everything
looks fine... thanks for responding.. If I have a utility where would it
be?
I can tell you this is very frustrating.. :) Rainy

Hello,

Yes the ports malfunctioning is a possibility.

Also check to see whether you have any audio utilities that came with your
sound card and if so, fiddle with them :)

thanks so much for wanting to help... yes I have tried other speakers on
my
computer. and followed along with your suggestions... everything was
ticked.. the only thing I couldn't do was
"Any Advanced buttons coming out? If so, click them and UNCHECK any
'digital
output only' or something along the lines of that"
I could not find digital output only. but will continue to look for it..
No one has addressed the question of ports..is that not possible? thanks
Rainy

Hello,

You've already done many obvious checks and the only one more I can think
of
is to use different speakers (such as head/ear phones) and see whether
that
works.

I understand that you have tested your speakers in another location, but
it
would not hurt to try :)

Also make sure that you are controlling the correct volume:

Volume Controller > Options > Properties > CHECK Playback > TICK ALL
Boxes
below > OK

Volume Controller > Options > CHECK Advanced Controls

Any Advanced buttons coming out? If so, click them and UNCHECK any
'digital
output only' or something along the lines of that.

Hi,

I have no sound... no system sounds, and nothing plays on media
player...
I
would appreciate help on this... been trying to resolve this for days
now...
and have tried many different things to solve this problem on my
own...from
the very obvious to not so obvious (to me anyway)..

Volume is not muted and everything is either half way up or all the way
up

In Sounds and Audio devices in control panel.. my sound card is
selected.

No conflicts or errors listed in device manager
My driver is listed (properties says it's working properly)
no other drivers are listed!

One website said it might be a corrupted OS.. so I repaired it.. still
no
sound

Took the speakers to my friends house and connected them to her speaker,
they work fine.. and yes they are connected to the right plug on the
back
of
my computer.. it's all color coded.. so I know which hole to plug it
into..:)

It was suggested I see if my sound card is enabled in bios but don't
know
how to do this.. I can get to bios but..

Appreciate any help I receive... thanks Rainy.

Ps.. my friend and I think it might be a bad port.. is there a way to
test
the port online?
