Sound Problem :(

i'm more of a noob than a geek but my sound has just stopped working! i've checked all the obviouse causes but can't seem to find the problem. i think it has something to do with the sound card driver but i don't know which driver to install and which to delete?? anyone help. thanx $am

 

what operating system do you use???

You could check control panel /system and then hardware and check if you have a exclamations points in one of your hardware device your should be in
sound and video and game controlers...

 

Hi and welcome to MajorGeeks.

Download EVEREST, and post the log as an attachment. (don't copy and paste, only attach please)

 

No exlamation marks next to my sound devices. i'm using windows XP. i've attached my log from Everest. thanks for the help guys.

one other problem. when i start my computer, my keyboard doesn't work until i restart it again??? weird.

thanks again

 

First thing I would do is update your motherboard/chipset drivers, as well as DirectX.

DirectX should be 9.0c, yours is 9.0b.

Then I would check Device Manager for any ? or ! (as Clark_Kent suggested), and update your sound drivers.

Everest should provide links for the manufacturers sites. If unsure, post back.

 

updated directX, no exlamation marks next to any devices

i don't know what sound card i have, how do i find out and find out if all my drivers are the right ones??

cheers guys
