Take your computer and everything that goes with it to a comuter shop! It may
be a problem that's quite technical and you may have never encountered it. It
may cost some money to fix, but you would have your system back with no harm
done to it. Actually, I can't get my speakers to work either and they were
working perfectly. The trouble is obviously something more involved with
drivers that somehow aren't loading and I certainly don't want to ruin the OS
while troubleshooting the speakers. Get a repair store to repair it and then
you'd have your speakers back.

according to the website, you can create the cd by downloading it to the hard.
drive and then transferring it to a cd r or cd rw.... however, you may not
need the cd.
i would attempt to install that pci card you removed.
It was a good move that you took it out when you rebooted. Windows was
looking for it and since it could not find the multimedia device, windows may
have removed the driver or disabled it.
Install the pci card and make sure it is screwed down tight. did you get a
cd setup for that card? it would have the drivers you need.
however, sometimes pc makers use a variety of sound card manufacturers.
what you can do is to read somewhere on the card for the manufacturer or the
brand. then visit that website and download the drivers from there too.
It may be possible to consider that if you had to reinstall your windows
because you were having problems, then the culprit could have been a bad or
unstable sound card...

ok, so as of now you are in windows normal mode and there is no sound device
loaded and there is no audio drivers loaded as well. Now with the cd for
your pc, locaate and find the audio setup program. The setup will not only
install the sound device but will install the audio driver as well.

9:30 pm my time
I rebooted and it began to look promising. Firstly Windows said it was
looking for a multimedia audio controller, then the Sigma tel C major audio.
It then failed to find a file which I located using search.
Bottom line NO SOUND and I still get an error if I try to play one through
Windows Media Player

try this step:
startup in safemode by pressing f8 during boot up and selecting safe mode
with cmd prompt.
then in safe mode, delete the sound device driver from hardware manager.
you say it is the sim-tel driver, then delete it. then reboot to normal mode
and ensure your speakers are plugged in. if windows sees your sound hardware
it will begin to add the sound driver or ask you for the driver. select
cancel if you cannot find the driver or don't have it. ... provide a status
here...

I have spent about 9 hours fixing one problem on my PC where it lost the IDE
controller. Fixed that but now I have no sound.
No, the sound is not set to mute.
If you click on a wav file for example and Windows media opens to play you
get a message saying there might be a problem with a device.
i have checked device manager there are no exclamation marks in any of the
sound devices.
I tried windows restore, doesn't matter how far I go back, this fails every
time.
I have double clicked sounds in control panel and the dialogue box says no
audio device
I have troubleshooted and have no positive information to act upon.
I paid $ 30 dollars to subscribe to a service which reinstalls drivers
following a scan it performs. no dice on getting my sound back.
I thought I would fool the machine by installing a new sound card. this is
registering as working fine, but guess what NO SOUND
I am not getting sound if I put in a DVD or audio CD.
I have spent 11 hours sitting at the PC, I've tried the manufactuer's site
(no help there)
I am convinced i have lost something in the operating system (Windows XP
home).
I am now just about out of all options to try. I have even tried to recover
the machine ot it's ancient factory settings and the files are no longer on
the machine it appears, so I can't even do that but I was reluctant to do so.
there is a root cause why I have no sound, but I can't work it out.
I am fully up to dat on XP updates (with SP2) At my wits end, so any
suggestions welcome.
