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

Plug in your speakers.  :-P\n\nRecheck all your settings, make sure nothing is muted.  Also make sure your sound card, if you have one, is installed properly and functioning.

a Few checks that might sound stupid.\n1) check all cables are secure\n2) when you boot do you hear more or less beeps than before and if yes the length of them.\n3) does the hard drive kick in\nif these all work then it sounds as if you monitor is up the creek

Reinstall the drivers.\n\nYou can look in the 'control panel / system / hardware / device manager', and make sure that your sound card is showing up under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.  If it's not then you have a hardware problem.

you must have an installation disc for it. Do you have a sound card installed?

After you cleaned your harddrive, you cleaned your drivers with it. This includes your sound driver. A driver is the software part of your hardware that makes them work the way they do. First you will have to determine what kind of driver you need. A great program that shows you every part of your computers insides is Called PCMark04. You can and should download it from \n\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/3DMark06_d4935.html\n\nOnce you download that program, look under your motherboard information. There you will see the model number and company that make your motherboard. Visit thier website and find the driver for that exact motherboard; and download it.\n\nAnother possibility is you have a soundcard in your computer. A sound card is a piece of equipment in your computer that's 100% dedicated to your computers sound. Again, check your PCmark04 and try to find your sound card information. Visit the makers of your videocards' website and download thier latest driver for that particluar sound card. That should help ya out.\n\nIf you're able to determine the information of your soundcard or motherboard without PCmark04 that's fine, it wont make a difference.

Go to the Control Panel, and pick Sound & Audio Devices.   You should see a checkbox that says "Show sound Icon on Task Bar".  Just check that box. \n\nLose everything?   OK, let's work harder to prevent that. \n1.  Locate your WIndows or Restore disk.  \n2.  Locate every program disk that you installed on your computer.\n3.  Make backups of your data regularly. \n\nSomeday, your poor computer WILL die.  Be ready to restore Windows, the programs and your precious data.   Don't hate your computer because you got caught off guard. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing.

When you upgraded, how exactly did you upgrade?  A new operating system?  A new motherboard?  bigger hard drive?  You could need new drivers depending on the upgrade.  Also, did you go into the settings and make sure that the sensitivity was set high enough to pick up any sound?  Maybe upgrading reset it somehow back to the very minimum pickup sensitivity.  If that doesn't work, check the manufacturer's website and see if others are having the same problem.  If not, write to their tech support and see what they can do.

Goto the link I provided and click Start Detection in the center of the page.  It will detect your system.  Then get the latest drivers for you sound then install them.\n\n- Check hardware profiles under System in control panel and be sure its not disabled.\n\n- Check your bios to make sure its not turned off.\n\nIts probably integrated but if its not then take the side of the system and check to be sure its seated correctly in its slot.\n\nIf these do not work, restore the system.\n\nIf none work, sound card may be bad.

My mate had the same problem, no sound from the speakers, so this is what I did: (Locate the Opearating System CD - or the Recovery CD that came with your computer ready)\n\nI'm assuming you are using XP:\n\n1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel\n2. Click on Performance and Maintenance\n3. Select "See basic information about your computer\n4. Select Hardware\n5. Click on Device Manager\n6. Under Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see a yellow explaination mark, if so click on it to open it\n7. Click Re-Install Driver\n8. Insert the CD-ROM I mentioned above\n9. Make sure Install the software automatically is selected and click on next\n10. After that I cant remember but it should be straight forward
