How do I get my sound back?

Well turn on your speakers for one thing :D. Try to delete the sound card driver then reinstall it by downloading its latest driver from the sound card manufacturer's site. Also, unplug the sound card and clean its contacts then replug it back in. This could also be caused by spyware or virus. Make sure your antivirus, and antispyware are always updated. Then scan your system in Safe Mode. Make sure you are using SpywareBlaster, Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy and Microsoft AntiSpyware. They are all free.

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

If this worked before, try just deleting the sound card in device manager and then reboot. Your drivers should still be resident. If not download them at creative web site or driverguide.com. I assume you did not turn off the integrated sound card in the system BIOS.

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.

If the problem is not resolved even after restarting the computer, try reinstalling your sound card drivers.Then run the Yahoo! Audio Setup Wizard.

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!

If it is Windows, try this.\n\nGo to device manager\nDelete the device entry for your sound card\nRestart Windows.\n\nWith any luck, your computer will detect a "new" sound card device and re-install the software for it.\n\nGood luck!

Sounds like you have a driver problem. You may have to uninstall your drivers, or right-click My Computer > Device Manager, and scroll to your Sounds heading. Double-click that, and click on Update Driver. Before that, you can go to pcdrivers.com and search for the right driver for your sound card (you'll have to know the make/model of your sound card). Then, download it to your PC (I usually just d/l it to C:....you can put it where you want). When you update the driver, point it to the one you downloaded. That's all I can think of.....\n\nOne other thought, if you have an install CD or other source of existing driver, you might be able just to uninstall it then reinstall it. Sometimes that works, though you might have to physically remove the sound card and restart to totally uninstall it. Then, reinstall the sound card and let windows find it as "New Hardware." It will tell you then what it wants.

Check if your speakers are plugged in properly. If that is the case, your sound card might not be working. Sometimes, I have to re-install my driver for it.

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

If you have a recovery disc try installing your sound driver again. Go to Control Panel and then Go to Systems. Check what kind of sound card you have.\n\nThen go to http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/ and install the appropriate driver for it.

Reinstall the drivers.\n\nYou can look in the 'control panel / system / hardware / device manager', and make sure that your sound card is showing up under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.  If it's not then you have a hardware problem.
