Hi all, I seem to have done something rather dumb. my pc (toshiba portege) was running really slowly, and a friend said to delete programs I didn't use. So i went into Control Panel-> add or remove programs, and deleted what i thought was a sound recording software I'd added. But, weirdly after about an hour, I stopped being able to hear sounds, like on youtube etc. I also can't adjust the volume of the pc, and when I go into control panel->sounds and audio devices I can't adjust any options. It says No Audio Device in the volume tab. So, i think i've stupidly deleted the software for my audio device or something? oops. Any sugggestions for how to get sound back? I don't really know much about computers, so pretty basic info or details would be great. I'm running windows XP, not sure if it's the professional or home version, i think professional. Thanks so much for any advice!

on my sons oldish dell dimension 4700, there is no sound. i reformatted the hdd and obtained the drivers from dell with the service tag. i'm pretty sure i've the correct driver for the machine but still no sound. the speakers i have tried on another machine and they are ok. in the bios i tried onboard audio on and off too. i could always take out the card and replace it with a cheapish card from ebay but i thought i'll have one more attempt with a post here.

This is something very very minor but its bugging the hell out of me! The volume control has dissapeared from my system tray and i cant seem to get it back. On properties > customize (right click in the system tray) volume control is not there either as an option for dislay. I know ive still got it because its in start > programs > accesories > entertainment. Any Ideas? Thanks

Hi guys I'm not sure if this is the right bit to post this in (mods please move as appropriate) I've just fitted a Liteon 20x DVD rewriter to my Packard Bell computer (which is about 5 years old and using XP Home). The DVD writer is working fine but for some reason I have lost all sound from my desktop speakers - I've checked that the volume controls are up and that the Realtek 97 has no fault. Any suggestions as to what might've happened. Please be gentle - I'm not too au fait with tech stuff. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, im new here and hope ive added this post in the correct section. Ive recently came back from holiday and im now getting problems with my computer. Whats happening is when im trying to run multiple programs im getting a strange click from the hard drive area and the certain program and sometimes the whole computer will freeze up. I took it to the local computer repair shop and they suggested i needed a new power supply. I got them to install the power supply which has helped the speed of my pc. However, the problem with freezing is still around and the clicking from what i believe is the hard drive is still happening. Im wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether it is my hard drive and if so what can i do about it? Thanks Jamie

Hi, up until a month ago i could get sound from my computer, then my speakers got thrown away by accident as they were very old. I recieved a pair of speakers (Dell Model A225) which has a green wire and a USB plug. These do not work and i have tried umpteen times to find a driver from them on the net to no avail. Now i find out that i have no sound audio advice on my computer and i have tried to troubleshoot on the net but again it has come to no avail. So i was wondering whether anyone could help me out? My PC is made by NEC Computers, The system is POWERMATE VL5, I am on Windows XP Home Edition version 5.1 if anyone would like any more info the i could get it to you but i am not that well clued up on the techincal side of computers. Many Thanks p.s having read through a few of the posts on this forum and seeing the replies, i cannot do a system restore as i have no dates to go back to.

Hi, I'm not getting sound when I'm using sites like you tube, picture is fine but no sound. When I visit real player homepage sound and picture are fine, also when i play music or dvd's work OK too. My pc is a dell inspiron 531 with vista home premium. I've updated drivers an also rolled back the audio drivers but still have the problem. There are no faults shown in device manager and I've run out of ideas, can anyone please help?:confused:
