try going to control panel /sounds and audio devices....look around and see if you have anything's volume really low....

[eakinsme]

all volums are good!!

ANY OTHER IDEAS??

[d0thedew87]

i assume, that u're volume isn't muted, check speaker connections, see if you can mess w/ the modem volume...if that doesn't work, completly uninstall the sound drivers..then reinstall...i'm not at my home comp..so i can't look around w/ xp...but i'll see what else

Where do i find the audio drives that i remove?

[eakinsme]

i deleted the audio driver and installed the audio driver that i d/led. And still i get the same result. No sound except for dialing up!

Run dxdiag and go to sound tab, then let us know what you see at device section or take a screen shot and post here.

i am not 100% sure of the sound tab u were talking about but here is the one i think u were talking about! THE FILE IS TOO BIG TO ATTACH!!

Any more help?

I talk about this sound tab, shown in this pic.
i just wanted to know what sound card you have and is it primary sound device or not?

You have realtek ALC 650 like me :) , did you run direct sound test completely ?(at sound tab). because you got failure and I think you pressed no buttun during direct sound test . your result shoud be like this,

I think there is a error in direct X files, try reinstalling direct X and you can also go to direct X files tab and check for files problem. this a pic. of my direct X files tab,

Your realtek dirver is very old. you can get new driver from realtek.com.tw unfortunately their server currently is down, here is a mirror link that you can get new driver,

What do u mean u think there is an error in direct X? How do i reinstall it? i am curently d/ling the newer drivers!! Do u think the updated driver will fix my problem?

Thanks so far!!BUT KEEP IT COMMING!!

[khafan]

Sometimes one of directX files get damaged because of bad shutdown,.....
for reinstalling directX, go to microsoft website and download it from there. pls note, you can't unistall directX, only you can reinstall it.
Maybe the updated driver fix your problem. after updating driver, if you still have no sound, go for reinstalling directX, after that if you still have no sound then I don't know what's the problem :(

[eakinsme]

Its all good now.. The driver worked!!!


Thanks alot!

[khafan]

Good to hear that. yeah the old driver was buggy.
