Sunday I reformated my computer to clean some files out. After I was done the sound on the computer no longer worked, I tested it with pinball and Runscape with several headphones and speakers.

 

 

 

 

 

Problems

 

No sound - I tried changing ports and speekers with no result. In the advanced volume controls I get a message that no drivers are installed.

 

 

 

The advanced volume control gives me a message "No active mixer devices instaled" then closes. I tried googling it and I found many have had the same problem with no clear answer.

 

 

 

CD works BTW, im not sure why so I removed it.

Did you try downloading and installing the latest drivers for both?

Actually, the problem is quite clear. If you have a sound card, then you need to install the driver into the computer. If, however, you don't have a sound card, then try going to control panel, sound and audio devices, click advance in device volume, and advance in volume control, and see if the 1 digit output only is checked mark. If it is, then uncheck mark it and it should work. If this process doesn't work, then there's something wrong with the audio outputs on your motherboard.

Hmm, did you happen to somehow close/uninstall any files by the name of:
