In safe mode only the basic drivers load for windows. That means that sound card drivers are not loaded.

First check your speakers by plugging a known portable player to the input of the speakers and see if you have sound.  But be sure that you have the power supply turned on and connected to the speakers.  If you have sound then you can work to the sound card.  By that I mean be sure that your comnection from the speakers is in the proper input on the back of the computer and the connections are tight. (Which is labeled speakers). Or a symble of a speaker indicating the audio output.  If that don't help you may have to go into your bios setup and check that the audio codek is checked properly.  To go into the bios you may have to at boot up wait till you hear the first beep and hit the delete key and wait till the cmoss screen comes up then you can look through the settings and then determine what to do.  But be carefull ,  You may wan't to mark down anything that you change what it was before you changed it and to what you changed it to so that you can return it to its orginal spot if it dosen't work.  Hint most audio drivers are of the AC97 codek, Hope this helps.

No Audio Devices means you do not have a  SOUND CARD. To get any type or white noise you need SOUND CARD. If you can fit SOUND-CARD yourself then buy it from any computer shop and INSTALL it. With Sound-Card you will get DRIVERS TOO. Install that and hey bing you have sound coming out of your system. I hope this might you.

Sound Card is a hardware. It can't be downloaded

its simple. if u encounter that problem. #1: try reinstalling ur audio driver. if not #2: reformat ur drive then install a fresh copy of ur Operating System (windows). if not #3: replace ur sound card or ur motherboard if its a built-in type. ;)

You may have lost your drivers or the speakers may be diabled\n\nRight click on My Computer, select properties\nUnder the hardware tab, select device manager.\nCheck the Sound, video and game controllers to see whether the drivers are installed and the device is enabled.\n\nIf not, go to your manufacturers website and download the drivers.\n\nPeace.

how does he get online? the internet he uses is not 'always-on', so i'm assuming he uses dial-up.\n\ni'm guessing the most probable cause of this is the software he's using to get online. there is probably some setting that will mute the speakers so you don't hear that awful noise when dialing up. this software is probably being overzealous and muting the entire system's sound for the duration of the connection.\n\nif he's using windows, see if he can un-mute the sound by going to Start, then Run, and then typing: sndvol32\n\nhit enter and it should give you the volume control panel.

1. Turn off the computer, fully.   Then restart it and try your music again.\n\n2. If you still don't hear anything, DOUBLE-CLICK on the volume icon and see if ANY slide controls are muted, if there is anything muted, UNMUTE it.\n\n3. If this fails.  Click on Start-programs-control panel-system-hardware-device manager - cllick on "sound, video and game controllers" and make sure all the devices are "recognized" (don't have a yellow question mark) if they do, then right click and ROLL BACK DRIVER \n\n4. Oh!, and please make sure your speakers are: 1. ON  2. plugged in, 3. try a different CD

Start with the obvious and work forward. Are your speakers connected? Turned on? Have power? Check your drivers. Go to www.pcpitstop.com and run their free diagnostic. If none of this works, restore your computer to the last date that your sound worked. Go to, Programs, System Tools, System restore.......good luck

Take your sound card out and make sure your computer still works. Then try putting it back in.

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

there is one more thing you can try before doing anything else if you have not yet.All programs entertainment, volume control make sure to uncheck the mute boxes. check for any mute button on the key board. Make sure the speakers are plugged in. Do not use any two devices at the same time.Now one other thing is if your sound system is integrated on the motherboard go to the motherboard manufacture web site and get the right drivers. Good luck

Go to start Control Panel, Sound and Audio devices. There you can check/set up your audio.
