kingjoe2002 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 well first i would check all the connections. Then i would see if u have the vol muted or way down. Provided that it is a hardware or software problem first update the driver or uninstall the sound card then try to reinstall it. What kind of soundcard do you have? Frankly when my sound mysteriously stopped working i just tossed it into the garbage. I had a Sound Blaster 5.1 Value. They are really cheap and the time you spend on it jsut isnt worth it. Bought a Chaintech AV-170 for replacement...which has better-than-Audigy sound quality for a fraction of the price. They dont sell it anymore but it uses VIA Envy24HT chipset. I would expect another card with the same have similar performance. If you ever come across one get it lol, you can even flash it into a Prodigy. Also it is not an AC97 card which means that it doesnt stupidly output 44.1 after converting it from 44.1khz to 48khz then back to 44.1khz.

kingjoe2002 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 lol if it is integrated then seriously buy a new one. Im suspecting that it is. Go into Device Managers and there should be a tab that say Sound, Multimedia and Game Controller (not sure if it is exactly that since im using my gf' mac right now). When u see your sound device go to its properties and from there you can update the driver or uninstall it. When you uninstall it you can be lazy and just restart the computer, the computer after restart will ask you to reinstall it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
