OK Blackdevin mate some system specs would be good for starters you say the machine is a Packard Bell but what model number etc and some other general specs please.

Use Speccy to find those Speccy - Download < download from piriform

Ok have you tried updating the software for the audio device in the Device Manager? If not when you do use the "search automatically for updated driver software" option which will search both your machine and the net for updates.

Yeah i've done this many times ..

Now I haven't come across that Microsoft MUAA before and I see it is a bus driver of sorts for high definition audio maybe it needs installing?

If you want to try - Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio Download - TechSpot

Downloaded it like 2 hours ago did the setup .. Nothing happened again ..

If this can help when i run dxdiag in sound tab says No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer...

Mate am running out of options here just how old is this machine?

Hum cross posting here Blackdevin I am beginning to think the sound card may be defunct.

 

[Blackdevin]

Its 6 years old .. And i ve changed only graphics card and ram's

Well you know I reckon the best way out of this is to install a sound card and that will bypass anything you have on the board.

Personally I have the Asus Xonar DG cards in all my machines and are just brilliant. The GUI for it is just superb and it isn't expensive - I paid $35 for it out here so depending on your budget....

ASUS - - ASUS Xonar DG

Well maybe i will do the same if i find myself without sound for some more days.. Anyway thanks for your time i appreciate your help

No probs Blackdevin sorry I couldn't be of more help but I think truly the grief just isn't worth it and you will get a much better quality of sound anyway.

I am using a Logitec Z 506 system with my main machine and mate it can blast the neighbours off the hill it isn't expensive either and I have rigged as 5:1 plus there is a headphones socket on the main control speaker.
The Xonar is actually capable of driving 7:1 systems by the by

I know it will be so much better .. I wanted to get away with it without buying a sound card but i think that i will

Best way mate the grief really is not worth it and for my money I would automatically build or buy a machine now and install one of these cards if only to have a better quality sound (I am a bit of a fussy listener) and you can "play" with the sound you get
