Can't hear anything from my headphones after installing Windows 7

[rfe777]

I've just installed Windows 7, but cannot hear anything from my earphones. They are connected to a subwoofer which is connected to the computer. Right now I cannot hear anything - not music, not movies, not sounds or videos on the web, nothing. Maybe it's something with the on-board sound card mixer...

How can I fix this?

TIA

Have you install the drivers for the Sound card?

Where on my PC can I find if I installed them or not? I thought that Windows 7 does this automatically.

It won't do any good as my Windows 7 language is Hebrew.

Just a general question - Is there a central place in this new OS where you can check for all your installed hardware for drivers current state?

Yes, Device Manager.

I think you can just type "Device Manager" into the SearchBar in Start Menu

Another thing is, I don't have a CD with my motherboard. I think it's just comes pre-installed with drivers, so I guess it's just to look online, but when I've tried the "check online for drivers option" it says that my drivers are updated.

Is there is some main sound control panel in Windows 7? Also, in all the sound cards that I had, the main function of their mixer was to set the number of speakers: 2 (for headphones), 4 5 and 7. I don't any such option in my on-board sound card mixer...

for drivers MSI P965 Neo

Maybe

Maybe I forgot to update my motherboard info (just bought a new one) - it's an MSI G41TM-E43 DDR2 HDMI.

OK.

Do I need to download just the Audio & Ethernet drivers or everything listed on the webpage?

 

[theog]

As you will not say, what drivers are missing, I must say download all the drivers.

I have said that I can't hear anything, so it practically says it...



That's strange - it looks like the drivers that I have installed or more updated that the ones on MSI's webpage, but maybe they are not the same thing:

What I have installed(according to the Device Manager) are two High definition audio drivers. Driver version - 6.1.7600.16385, Drivers date - 13.07.2009.

What is mentioned on that webpage is Realtek High Definition Audio Driver. Driver version - 6.0.1.6069, Driver date - 21.04.2010.

How can I know if it's the same thing?

So the one on the webpage for MSI is Realtek? and dated 21.04.2010

this is newer than your installed version dated 13.07.2009
