I came here in hopes of help.:wave


I have a problem with my sound how awful it is.
I have been googling for months now,haha and still I am stumped

Re: So..I am here,thx-thx(help)

okay so my sound just stopped working one day i go and cut it on.

( little sister was on my comp. last)

i checked the volume advanced settings and nothing is muted,as well as device manager and everything looks okay.

music looks like its playing okay but just no sound period.
not even then start up sound for windows.
fyi. the speakers do work.

I have a compaq 5bwm2a,windows xp,with on board sound which is ESS Allegro PCI Audio (WDM)..


i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling driver as well,the only sound i do get is when i hit F5 or F10 repeatedaly to enter safe mode or bios(which doesnt have an opition to disable on board sound ,just pci bus mastering) i will hear a short beep(once).
....:cry

 

Hello wishetc, welcome to Major Geeks.

Is your character any relation to WishyWashy in Gilbert and Sullivan?

If you need help start a thread in (probably) hardware forum posting details of your system, the exact symptoms your pc is showing, and anything you did just before the problem arose. Let us know if it ever worked any better.

 

:wave and welcome to MG's..
