Abilouise Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Hi, After lending my Laptop to a friend the Avrack symbol has disappeared from my desktop and I have no sound. I have tried to restore but I can't find it. How do i reinstall it and get my sound back? I have no tv at the moment as I am in the middle of moving house so the laptop is my only entertainment please help I am going quietly crazy!! Thanks Quote
Plastic Nev Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Abilouise and welcome. First thing to try is a system restore back to a time previous to when you lent the machine out to your friend. If that can't be done or doesn't work, can you have a look in device management and look for sound video and game controllers. click on the expansion + to see the list, are there any yellow ! marks or red X next to anything? To get to device management click start, then run, and type in the box devmgmt and click OK. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

Abilouise Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 lost sound Hi Nev, I tried system restore several times but it hasn't worked. I also just tried the device management thing you suggested but I got the message "windows cannot locate devmgmt' . Looking on the control panel sounds and audio devices it days I have no audio device. What do i do now? Abilouise Quote
Abilouise Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 My laptop is a Fujitsu siemens Amilo Pro, not sure about the Avrack/Realtek thing as a guy from my old work put it on my computer and now I have left and can't get hold of him. Sorry I am not very helpful Quote
Plastic Nev Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Hi again Abilouise, Try a copy and paste of this into the run box -- devmgmt.msc Did you include the ".msc" last time? Nev.

Guest Wolfeymole Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 It means "your mate" could have caused serious issues, however follow the link provided by Ken in post 7. Quote
