Sound, No CD drives, and an odd array message when booting!!

[bjbj1991]

Started a few days ago when I reformated my Windows Xp computer, that after nearly a day worked.

 

 

 

When I played some games like pinball I found that I heard no sound. Looked in the control pannel and could not open the 'Advanced Volume Controls'. I got a message saying "there are no active mixer devices available.", a beep, and the window closed.

 

 

 

I was repeditaly clicking on random things in windows looking for the solution then I got sick of the beeping. I opened the computer case and unpluged the internal speeker, aparently I unpluged the hard drive and placed in in the wrong slot so it was anouther hour before I looked at the manual and corected it.

 

 

 

Ever since then I have been recieving an array not defined message when I reboot. It does not stop my computer in any noticable way so im not conserned.

 

 

 

After my computer began booting again I tried poping in the Windows install CD to repare the origional sound problem. I found it wouldn't load. :evil: :evil: :evil: MUST FIND A WAY TO VENT THIS RAGE!!!!!!! I looked at the my computer portion.

 

 

 

Hmm looks good Shared Documents, My Documents, C Hard drive, Floppy... Um what happend to my DVD and CD players!!!!

 

 

 

Power ---- Check

 

Conection to Motherboard ---- Check

 

CD ------- Check

 

Am I missing anything? Or was this just a bad...um week and Saturday will heal it.

Looks like you don't have sound drivers installed. :x

 

 

 

Install the sound drivers for your motherboard. The manufacturer's website usually has the sound drivers for download.
