Hello,

It is coming from a built-in speaker in your casing. Windows defaults to
using that if it can't find an audio device.

hi.. hoping to get a bit more help with this problem. so far still no
sound
except for, and this is new.. it's a system sound, a little beep, when I
upload or anything that requires a closing or finishing sound.. :) I have
installed the latest motherboard driver as my sound is onboard.. and that
didn't work... so I have completely uninstalled it.. that is when I
started
hearing the "little beep" of course I appreciate any help... :) thanks
Rainy ps. if I don't have a sound card enabled or a driver installed,
where
is this coming from?

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?
