No sound after upgrading from WINXP home SP3 to WIN7 Home premium SP1
okay now im having this VERY nagging and now starting to become very time consuming problem...
Recently ive decided that Well i should upgrade this computer. give it a bit of ..well style.
But since ive upgraded to WIN7 there has been no sound whatsoever. Ive downloaded countless driver programs which tell you what sound card you have and not one has detected it. IVE ALSO downloaded drivers for the WIN7 version of my sound (Realtek AC97) and ran windows updates and NONE worked. ive ran the troubleshooter on the sound thing...STILL not detecting any sound card. i tried changing the audio in BIOS from auto - enabled....nothing.
so to put short. ive tried the WIN7 drivers = No worked
Trouble shooter = No worked
BIOS changing settings = no worked
Device manager = no worked (doesnt find ANY trace of it)
Windows update = No worked
driver identifyer Software = no worked (doesnt find sound card)
there is a soundcard and it worked fine till this. maybe its incompatable but it didnt come up as incompatable (sorry for my spelling) in the windows7 instalation.
should i plug in some speakers see if it fixes the problem ..or should i revert back to my old WINXP
urm. i guess system information is helpful. so um
PC: HP pavilion A1000
Motherboard: AMD Sempron
Memory: 350 odd GB left of 500GB
OS: WIN7 HP SP1
graphics: Radeon 200xpress (old i know xD)
I do remember having a WIN7 PC that worked for a little that broke down that had a similarish problem but was much more easily solved. by windows update...
sorry if im hard to understand ^^; i be tired
