Your sound card could be shot. Click on Start, then go to My Computer, and RIGHT click, choose Properties. A box will appear, choose the Hardware Tab, then Device Manager. This will show all the hardware in your computer. If there is a problem with the sound card, the icon will have a exclamation point (!) in a yellow triangle. If your sound device does or doesn't right click on it, and choose Update Drivers, hopefully it will find one if it's a driver problem. Say your having no luck, download this free program called Advanced Windows Care, hopefully that will fix it if it's a software thing. Lastly unplug your speakers and plug a headset in where the speakers are to see if can hear anything, to make sure the speakers aren't toast. Best of luck

if u click on start - control panel, and double click on sound and audio devices, on the window there will be a little tick at the bottom saying show volume control (or something of that sort) make sure that's ticked, and it should pop back on

Chances are that the onboard sound is disabled in the BIOS and that could be why Windows can't find it.  Pressing F2 at the Dell screen before the Windows splash screen appears will take you into the BIOS setup that's where you can turn the onboard sound on again.

No sound device means you don't have sound card or sound device disabled.\n\nCheck your sound device if disabled. Enable it if disabled. If already enabled, try using the Update Driver option. \nStart, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. \n\nCheck your BIOS settings if your sound is buitl-in. Make sure it is enabled.

Have you rebooted your computer? I used to have this problem intermittently, and often a reboot would fix the problem. It seemed to be some kind of weird Windows problem where it would lose track of the sound card. If the reboot doesn't work, the second step is to remove the sound card from the device manager and reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it, you may be looking for some new hardware. Best of luck!

Hi my friend\n\nMaybe listen i said "maybe" there is virus on your computer but before that you want to change your windows you should know that sound's like a hardware error bcuz virus can't do like this \n--->"the green case light remains on for few mins/secs"\ni think there is and error on your mother board.\n\nthere is a thermometer under the CPU socket that sometimes  didn't work correctly and send over temperature signal to mother board to shutdown the computer.\nyou can go to the bios menu and set the  automatic CPU temperature value = ignore or disable \n\nform your question i understand you have temperature problem or one of electric parts on your mother board or your system power doesn't work correctly .... \n\n"i turn it on many times and shuts down each time faster than previous so i turn out to have it like goes into windows and shuts down imedialty at the last tries"\n\nSo try this \nignore thermometer\nTest The computer power \nTest The Mother Board

Some noises are normal and some are indicators that certain hardware like the hard drive may have a scratch on it or may be on it's way out. I would suggest backing up your data that you want to keep (Windows has a Backup Wizard found in accessories) and either wait for it to go out or have it looked at by an A+ Technician. Do not take no for an answer when you ask for an A+ Technician also ask for thier CompTia A+ Card.\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

Look on the tools bar, and see if changing the sound option there helps...;

First, are you using on-board sound or an add on PCI card(Sound Blaster etc.)?? Check your volume settings. You may have several. The program that you use to play the DVD in like Power DVD etc. has its own volume level control it may be a little hard to find on their control panel, usually a slider of some type. Windows has 2 possibilities in it, the main volume control and the wave. Try adjusting them till it sounds OK to you. Then there is the volume control on your speakers(if they are amplified). Also check the volume settings in control panel. Looking for all of this stuff is what made go bald by pulling my hair out!!

If you are in Windows Media Player then go into your Enhancements and look in the taskbar thst appears down in the bottom left.  Press the arrows and find GRAPHIC EQUALISER, and pull 1KHz to the top mark.  This should help because it works for me, it makes it louder but may distort the sound a bit.  Experiment with the other ones and find a balance that suits you.  You can always reset....

possibly the sound card was added after the original restore was made, or the card was changed, YOu will have to find out which one you have and download drivers for it
