If you have the disk containing the all the drivers that came with your motherboard(computer), the drivers will install from that disk.\nIf you have no disk , you need to run a system information program that will tell you what brand of sound hardware your computer has, then find the appropriate company website for the drivers.\nSuitable free sysinfo progs to dld are Belarc, PC Wizard and many others

Check if they are jack in fully and correctly.\n\nIf so, check if your sound card is okie (if yours is a seperate sound card that is)\n\nIf all else fails, replace your speakers.

The laptop it's self is not that important. Get any decent laptop. Then add a pcmcia sound card or an external one.\nI'd recommend checking out the reviews on http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1746178,00.asp\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/Creative_USB_Sound_Blaster_Audigy_2_NX/4505-3022_7-30580579.html

Go to the manufacturer of the sound cards website and download the drivers for your soundcard.

Do you have a sound card? or built in to the pc? do you have speakers? if YES the go into drivers and make sure you have the correct drivers.\n\nStart> Settings> Control panel > Click on system Icon > hardware tab > then device manager > go down to wwhere you see a speaker it should say sound ect.....\nif theres and x or ? then you need to install correct driver or enable it

If the new MB doesn't have a built on soundcard, you need to buy one, most have at least a simple card built on the connections would look like a headphone jack where you put in the speaker connections. Otherwise you need to purchase a soundcard, Soundblaster brand is great.\n\nBut I would tend to think that the MB has sound inputs, if you are getting the message "No sound Device Found" it is either selected wrong in your "sound options in control panel" or there isn't one.

If you dont have a sound card than try re-installing your motherboard drivers. All PCs have motherboards (or mobos we call them...) check/find out what mobo you are using (the brand - is it - ABIT, ASUS, MSI etc)  and what chipset its working on (is it Intel, Nvidia etc). Than go to the appropriate mobo manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. This should usually work. Good luck.

If you would give more details suck as your operating system and the model of your sound card or sound chip integrated on your motherboard I may be of more help.\nGenerally windows 95/98/Me you can click on control panel then add new hardware and your sound card will be listed and then follow the prompts from there.\nWindows XP go to programs/Accessory's/system tools/system restore and restore system to a point listed when you had sound.

it's pretty difficult to help on such a vague question. give a short history\n- when did you hear the speakers for the last time?\n- what did you do in the mean time? (did you install any obscure programs)\n- always helpful is to mention what operating system you use (Windows, Linux etc.)\n\nedit:\nthanks for the response. It seems like an issue with the amplifier. What's up with headphones or external speakers, did you already try that? In case this doesn't work, you have to go to the vendor with your laptop.

go to belkin.com and get their advisor or to crucial.com and run theirs. It will tell you what sound system you have then just google it (or go to downloads.com) and download it

I am assuming that you installed XP over an earlier version as I am reading into your question that you had sound before XP so that also rules out having the speakers incorrectly hooked up.  Go to start-control panel-system (the icon that looks like a computer) and run the hardware wizard.  If the hardware is listed but has a question mark you may just have to reload the software.  I would first check for updated software as you may be using an incompatible driver for your sound card.

If your PC has onboard sound, it may already be surround sound ready. Look at your mobo manual. If you dont have it, download it from the mfgs site.

If your sound card only accepts mono you will need to upgrade the card. Try this program first. It will automatically detect your sound cards capabilities and configure itself for maximum performance:\nhttp://www.soundrecorder.net/

You need to install drivers for your sound card.\n\nIf you know what sound card you have you can go to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers from there. If you have on-board sound card refer to your motherboard manual/documentation.
