You will probably need the driver CD that came with either the sound card - motherboard if integral, or CD pack if a store bought made up system.\n\nDelete it from CONTROL PANEL- SYSTEM - Hardware, then reboot and have the CD ready when it says 'Found New Hardware'\n\nIf you haven't got it, message me with make and model of sound card

Use your support disk to reinstall the audio card and then try. All sound cards support uncompressed audio formats, and it seems either the driver is corrupt or your sound and multimedia settings are not properly configured.

Have you rebooted your computer? I used to have this problem intermittently, and often a reboot would fix the problem. It seemed to be some kind of weird Windows problem where it would lose track of the sound card. If the reboot doesn't work, the second step is to remove the sound card from the device manager and reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it, you may be looking for some new hardware. Best of luck!

Go to "control panel" & click on add new hardware..\nWindows should detect the loss of the sound drivers & it'll be up again after a restart..\nIf theres still a problem, you should look for any CD'S or Floppy's that came with the computer which might have the audio driver files..\nCheers!

Try going to the site where the sound card is from and downloading all applicable drivers for the speakers.  You will probably have to unplug the speakers, download the drivers, then restart the computer and plug the speakers back in.  Maybe your sound card took a crap on you and you need a new one.  Or... a virus is eating through your computer and it started there.  You should probably just take it to a computer tech and let them work out the kinks.  Or go to walmart and buy a new computer for $500.00

You can go to your control panel and click on your "Sound and audio devices" icon doing so will get you the "Sound and audio devices Properties" in this window go to the Audio tab in the top and see if any thing is listed under the default device if there is nothing listed try clicking the drop down menu but if you see the menu has been disabled that mean your sound card driver have been corrupted. If your sound card is an internal sound card inbuilt on your mother board then try using your mother board CD and install the audio driver... I think this will work. \n\nBest Of luck

1. Turn off the computer, fully.   Then restart it and try your music again.\n\n2. If you still don't hear anything, DOUBLE-CLICK on the volume icon and see if ANY slide controls are muted, if there is anything muted, UNMUTE it.\n\n3. If this fails.  Click on Start-programs-control panel-system-hardware-device manager - cllick on "sound, video and game controllers" and make sure all the devices are "recognized" (don't have a yellow question mark) if they do, then right click and ROLL BACK DRIVER \n\n4. Oh!, and please make sure your speakers are: 1. ON  2. plugged in, 3. try a different CD

I assume checked your sound levels on your speakers and in the Control Panel.  Try rebooting your computer.  That usually solves the problem.  \n\nIf that doesn’t work, go to START –\nRIGHT-CLICK on MY COMPUTER\nSelect PROPERTIES\nClick HARDWARE tab\nThen DEVICE MANAGER button\nFrom the list, expand SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLERS\nSee if you can find your soundcard device in the list.  If there is a problem with driver you’ll see an indication.  You can remove the device from the list and try rebooting the computer.  During the reboot, XP should recognize the “new hardware” and install the proper driver for it.  \n\nIf that doesn't work, it's somewhat likely that your soundcard is toast.

Go to control panel - then system then hardware and device manager  Select sound video and game controllers in the list - if you have things in the list with yellow symbols on them right click and select reinstall.  If your computer cannot find them then you will have to look on the net and download them and install fresh.\n\nNOTE:  you need to work out what your soundcard is - then go to the companies website - most popular is soundblaster - but you need to know the exact version of your card.  Go to Accessories/ system tools and select system information - this will tell you what your soundcard is - make and model number - enter this info into google and it will find it for you - make sure you type drivers after the card info.

you might try resetting it through the yahoo messenger audio wizard. Thats the easiest way to know if your sound card is working properly without doing a bunch of tech stuff.
