I have, I think, tried everything I have found about trying to get
sound back on my computer, at least from this newsgroup. Nothing has
worked. I just don't know where else to look to find the answer.

I have gone into: Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > sounds
tab; "Remove the modem from control panel, phone and modem
options,restart from power-off, and then add the modem agan."; I've
checked everything in Control Panel from Sounds, Speech, Audio
Devices, Audio Devices. I have gone into Windows XP, click Start,
and then click Control Panel. I've checked Device Volume (up all the
way), have removed checkmarks from Mute on Master Volume, and
adjusted to High for volume.

The cords from the speakers to the computer seem to be connected
snugly

I have checked the hardware tab under device manager; there are no
?'s or yellow or red boxes - no problems. I have updated the sound
device driver. Windows update does not give me any information on
updates needed for sound driver updates.

At one time, I did remove all the sound device names other than audio
codecs and Legacy Audio Drivers, and then click Remove, and let the
computer replace them. That did not work, either.

I know someone knows what is wrong - CERTAINLY not me! If anyone can
help, PLEASE let me know.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has some new avenues I can travel
down to get some sound here.

(Yes, I have tried system restore - it's been several years, now, and
I don't want to loose so much!!!)

Sound cables are properly connected from the speaker to the computer
(cable connectors and plug assignments are normally color-coded to
aid with connections).

The directions I see to deal with the "BIOS" is something I don't
quite understand; maybe you can help me on that if maybe that could
be an answer.

Help! Thanks so very much for any suggestions you can give me.

Susan,

Check the simple things...

In Sounds and Audio Devices, have you checked the volume sliders? (your OP
says you have, check it again).

Have you tried going into Programs to locate your soundcard controllers and
checked the volume sliders?

Have you tried going into Windows Media and moved the volume slider to
'High'?

Have you tried going into Real Player (if installed) and moved the volume
slider to 'High'?

Have you tried going into QuickTime (if installed) and moved the volume
slider to 'High'?

Have you tried going into any other medial player that you have installed
and moved the volume slider to high?

Every time I have 'lost' my sound, one or other of the above has been the
problem.

If all else has failed, have you tried re-installing the sound drivers from
the CD-ROM that came with the sound card/motherboard?
