Whats "everyting"?  what operating system are you running? when did the sound stop? have you tried uninstalling, then re-installing the driver?

Check to make sure your sound jack is plugged in all the way.  If it is, then it's probably your sound drivers gone wild.  Right-click on your "My Computer" icon (not shortcut) and click properties.  Then click Hardware(tab)>Device Manager.  Scroll down to the "Audio, Video, and Game controllers"  and uninstall your sound drivers (you may want your computer's Dell resource CD in case your computer doesn't have the necessary drivers).  Then, right click on the "Audio, Video and Game Controllers" branch and click "Scan for Hardware Changes".  It will detect your sound card and reinstall the drivers (if it can't, it will ask for the drivers/cd, give it the resource cd).  Your sound should be fine after that.

Check the speaker volume in Control Panel, Sounds.\n\nOr reinstall the sound software.

Go to "control panel" & click on add new hardware..\nWindows should detect the loss of the sound drivers & it'll be up again after a restart..\nIf theres still a problem, you should look for any CD'S or Floppy's that came with the computer which might have the audio driver files..\nCheers!

Okay..\nletz start from "A".\n\nCheck if you have connected the speakers properly. \n\nIf you have connected the speakers properly, ensure that you have switched on the speakers. \n\nIf all these have been done, check if you have reduced the speaker volume to 'Zero'. \n\nIf this is also in tact, letz come back to your comp:.ensure that you have not disabled the sound in your comp. If you are using an onboard card, and you are running on windows, a speaker icon will be displayed in the system tray to the left of the clock. Ensure that there is no red cross mark on the icon. Anyways, double click on the icon and here opens a new settings box. verify the settings and uncheck all the "MUTE" tick boxes and drag the equalizers to the top. Play the music and check if you are getting enough. If it is still there in the pole, take out your audio driver CD and go ahead with a fresh installation. You can confirm the functionality of your sound card by Right clicking on the My Computer icon, goin down to the properties and device manager. Check if there is an yellow astrick on the sound card. If yes, no issues... try a fresh installation.. your comp is gonna sing...\n\nn IF THIS DOENT WORK, CONTACT YOUR VENDOR AND ORDER A FRESH SOUND CARD..\n\nI RECOMMENT CREATIVE PLATINUM AUDIGY....\nA...W...E..S..O..M..E...man...itz gonna be a feast for your ears..\n\ngud luck..

by the sounds of it you droped your sound drivers... What you need to do is this first off check to see if the device is working properly to do this you need to click on start then click on control panel then click on system up at the top you will see some tabs.. click on hardware and in the second box you will see device manager. Click on the device manager box and wait for it to load. Then scroll down until you see sound,video and game controler click on that and it will bring up the list of things you have within. If you see any astrick near any of those things such as realteck AC97 audio and it has a astrick you will need to relaod the drivers for the sound. To do this you need the cd that has either come with your computer or if this is not a name brand computer you should have a mainboard cd. When you put this into your computer just reaload the drivers for the audio and everything should be fine from there... hope this helps

Step 1: Checking volume and mute settings:\nThe volume setting for one or more sound devices might be disabled or set too low. Use the following steps to adjust volumes to their correct levels:\n\nIn Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel \nIn Windows XP, open Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Sound and Audio Devices.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, open Sounds and Multimedia, and then click the Audio tab. \nIn Windows XP, click the Advanced button under Device Volume.\nIn Windows 98 and Me, click the Volume button under Sound Playback. \nRemove all checkmarks from Mute boxes at the bottom of the Master Volume window and adjust the volume setting slide bars to their highest positions. Close the Master Volume window and test for sound. If there is still no sound, go to the next Step. \n\nStep 2: Verifying the connections:\n\nUse the following steps to verify that the sound cables are properly connected from the speaker to the computer (cable connectors and plug assignments are normally color-coded to aid with connections).\n\nUnplug the sound cable. \nPlug headphones or one speaker directly into the speaker out connector on the back of the computer. The speaker out connector may have a symbol of a speaker \nor a circle with an arrow pointing out, or it may just say "OUT" next to it. Test for sound using the computer. If sound does not work, go to "Step 3: \n\nIf sound is restored when the headphones or one speaker is plugged in, replace the original sound cable with a new sound cable and test for sound. Sound should be restored after replacing the sound cable. If sound does not come back after replacing the cable, the sound card needs to be replaced because the speaker out connector is bad.\n\nStep 3: Configuring on-board sound in the BIOS:\n\nSome computers come with sound on the motherboard (on-board), and some computers use a sound card. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS has to be set according to your particular sound configuration. Perform the following steps to correctly configure the sound in the BIOS:\n\nLook at the back of your computer and use one of the following three items to determine the proper sound configuration and sound setting: \nIf the plugs for the speakers and microphones are located next to the parallel, serial, or USB ports, then the computer has on-board sound. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS should be Enabled. If the plugs for the speakers and microphone are located away from the other ports and sit in an area by themselves, the computer has a soundcard. The on-board sound setting (if there is one) in the BIOS should be Disabled. If the computer has sound plugs in both locations, a \nsoundcard has been added to the computer that already contains on-board sound. The on-board sound setting should be Disabled. To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and when the first screen appears, press the F1 key repeatedly until the BIOS Setup screen opens. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to select the Advanced tab. Press the DOWN ARROW key to select Onboard Audio Options and press ENTER. If Onboard Audio Options is not available, select I/O Device Configuration and press ENTER. If Audio Codec is listed, select it and press ENTER. Select either Enabled or Disabled depending on your \nconfiguration and press ENTER. Press the F10 key and then press ENTER to save and exit Start Windows and check for sound. If there is still no sound, continue to the next Step.\n\nStep 4: Restoring the sound drivers\n\nUse the recovery process to restore individual drivers for a sound or combination sound-modem card. \n\nIf the computer came with recovery discs (Windows 98 and Me), place the last disc of the set into the top disc drive and follow the on-screen menus as they appear. Restart the computer after restoring the sound driver software and test for sound.\nIf there is still no sound, continue to th

The easiest thing to do is to just go to Device Manager and uninstall your sound device, then reboot and let Windows re-install the drivers.  I've had the same thing happen to Vinyl '97.

you might try resetting it through the yahoo messenger audio wizard. Thats the easiest way to know if your sound card is working properly without doing a bunch of tech stuff.

Check device mgr - if all are sound devices are working properly - go to start>control panel>admin tools>services - scroll down to Windows audio. Make sure it is set to Automatic and all dependant programs are enabled.\n\nUnder the recovery tab select "restart service" for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd failures.\n\nWorked for me....

You have lost your driver for your sound card. What you need to do is reinstall it. If you know the make and model of your soundcard you can download the driver from the website of the manufacturer, or if you have a name brand computer you can go to that site and get the driver, or you can open your case and see what kind of soundcard you have, if it is built on the mother board that company will have your driver

Go to Run and type in 'dxdiag' and select the Sound tab and select Test DirectSound.  If you get no sound, go to Device Manager and uninstall the sound driver, then re-boot.  If that doesn't work, either the speakers are dead or your sound card is dead.  By the way, is the power light for your speakers on?

No volume meaning no sound ? Or just no icon ?\n\nTo get the icon just go to the Control Panel then click sounds \n\nIf your sound is not working then make sure you have the sound card driver installed. If that fails make sure it is connected to the computer.
