Go to Control panel ---> Sound and audio devices ---> Try to return the sound to default setting (eg. Control panel ---> Sound and audio devices -->Speaker volume --> restore defaults) and repeat this step for each Item in Sound and audio devices .

Try it , It might work

Thanks, but when I open up the volume tab, it says no audio device. What now?

Restore your operating system to a previous restoration point.

I think it's under Start -> Accessories -> System Utilities. (If not, you'll just have to hunt around for it. I'm a Mac user now and don't have a Windows machine booted to see if that's the correct path to get to the program.)

This will restore to a previous point, likely restoring your sound. However, any programs you installed, changes you made to your system, etc. will most likely be lost and will require you to reinstall them.

Again, simply restoring your computer to a previous point will usually eliminate any hassles of trying to troubleshoot what is wrong.

(You can always buy a Mac, but that's a story for another day.)

It might eliminate the minimal hassle, but it might cause other headaches depending on how old the restore point is. Relative to the Mac, I'm sure a no-button mouse would be effective too.

Right, I cannot use a mouse. The one button cripples me.

Incidentally, I actually have a Logitech wireless mouse that has two buttons (I never use the right, wonder why?), a forward/back button, and a scroll wheel. Imagine that, it works with a Mac!

Where's your one button mouse comment going now?

I appreciate your help. That worked and I now have sound!

No problem. Glad I could be of help.

Now if we can just get you to switch to a Mac. Take a look here: www.apple.com/switch

I am not sure about this but doesn't "restore" deletes any files etc that you have saved beyond your last good setting.

I think the safest way (in future) will be to download the drivers from web for your sound card ... I think soundmax is eith creative labs or Intel.

No, restore doesn't delete files such as documents, spreadsheets, etc. What it deletes is any new program that you've installed. So if you updated Windows through Windows Update and it becomes unstable, you can restore it to a previous build.

JobsFan, yes I'm a Mac fanatic.

Paendrag, a no button mouse? Now that would be interesting. Who makes a no button mouse?
