Re: NO SOUND! aka NO MUSIC

Install your chipset first:

This should be your audio:

Re: NO SOUND! aka NO MUSIC

they driver u sent to me the sound worked for awhile so i turned it off and was let my wife use it cuz i was working on her computer and a boxed poped up about the sound but before i could get over to read she closed it now the sound wont work and everytime i try to install the drivers again it install them but after its done its says there was a problem and the audio still dont work .

 

Re: NO SOUND! aka NO MUSIC

Go to Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices, click the Audio tab.
Is SoundMax set as your Default audio?
Click the Volume tab.
Is the box checked for "Place volume icon on the taskbar?"
On the Volume tab, click Advanced under Speaker Settings.
Are the speaker type you are using selected?

Also, double click the Volume icon in task bar.
Are any parts of the Volume Control muted?

 

Re: NO SOUND! aka NO MUSIC

It says there is no device installed it only give me line in and out and in the device manger it is checked with a yellow queastion mark when i try update the drivers so it will work again it asks for the a3d.dll file or something like that it is starting to get really annoying i hope this may help figuare what my problem is

 

Re: NO SOUND! aka NO MUSIC

Something is causing the driver to corrupt. Not sure what may be doing it.
Malware can be the cause, but so can several other things.

a3d.dll is included in SP2, so it is a file that can be fixed.
If you have a copy of Windows, you could try running the SFC command or a repair install.
Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24 can help you with the SFC.
Run the app, click on Tools (hammer), scroll down to the last 2 commands.
Run the SFC purge, then SFC scan. (You need to have your Windows disc inserted first)

Repair Install
If you have your Windows CD, you can do a Repair Install.
It can be done without destroying your personal files or applications, but it is safer to back up any personal stuff to CD.

Make sure you have your valid Windows XP key.
The whole process takes about half an hour depending on your computer.
You may have to change your Boot Options in BIOS to get your PC to load from the disk.

1. Insert and boot from your Windows XP CD.
2. Press a key when you see the Boot from CD window.
You will see a new screen that says, “Setup is inspecting your computer’s…………….”
After a minute or two, you'll see the "Windows Setup/Setup is starting Windows" screen.
Finally, you will see the "Welcome to Setup" screen.
3. To get to the Repair option you want, you must choose, "To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER."
DO NOT choose the "To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console..." Option.
Don’t worry nothing has been changed yet.
4. The next screen is the Licensing screen, choose F8 to accept.
5. The next screen searches for "a previous version of Microsoft Windows."
Again, don’t worry, nothing has changed yet.
6. Finally, you will come to a screen that shows your XP installation. If you have more than one, you will need to highlight the one you want to repair.
7. You will also see, “To Repair the selected Windows XP installation, press R”
This is the real Repair option. Press R

The Repair process then selectively deletes system files in the Windows folder and subfolders and copies undamaged replacement files from the setup CD to their proper locations.
Then it works on the current setup's Registry, leaving much of it intact and rebuilding the rest.
The repair process needs to reboot and will do so automatically.
If your setup CD is still in the drive, remove it so that the system won't try to boot from it.
It will take a bit longer to reboot this time. Then Setup will start again.
Don’t worry, if you have followed these steps it is doing a repair only, not a re-install. You will see the same screens as a regular install.
First you will get the Regional and Language screen, then the screen asking for your Product Key.
Next it will do the actual Repair. When done (20-30 minutes) there will be another reboot bringing you to a “Welcome to Windows” screen.
You'll be asked if you want to register and you may or may not be asked to reactivate the copy of Windows.
Next, the setup completes the final networking details and then you will see a "Thank You" screen.
There should be one more reboot (a normal one) and if you did everything correctly, all your User Accounts, Passwords, Personal Data, and software will be intact.
