Sound on my comp doesn't work - pls help

[Time]

Hello,

I see that this is a common problem and I have read many posts on this issue, but still have no solution.

I installed Windows 7 and now there is no sound. Before that I had WinXP. I tried to update the driver through the device manager but it says that it is up to date.

Processor is Pentium Dual Core E5200, Motherboard Asus P5KPL-AM.

Does anyone have any ideas? Pls help!

Thank you!

Hi Time, no pun intended, if you click on the small triangle on the task bar, then customise, you'll get this:-



Hope this help.

Yes, that's correct. How is this helping me?

There is no sound at all.

Seemingly its not, I take it all your sound cables are connected properly and your speakers are not 'muted'. Then again you could be deaf!!!

That's very funny, thx. :sarc:

I would appreciate some help on this matter.

Selecting the Windows 7 Volume Mixer, Playback devices, what output device is checked?

Hi, yes.

 

[BugMeister]

there should be a sound manager somewhere..
where you can set and test the speaker arrangement

this is the Realtek one:

you should have something similar..

- do a search on your system, it may point you in the right direction..

Check your BIOS and make sure that the Audio Controller [Azalia] is not set to All Disabled or Disabled.
Set the HD Audio mode to HD Audio.

and / or

Try Re-installing your drivers.

Thank you so much for your effort

I tried a lot of things and I'm not sure which one did a trick, I think after installing drivers from ASUS support site. Now it's working!

Thank you again!
