Maybe your sound is mute in control panel/sound and audio properties/audio/volume.Go there and uncheck it.\nMaybe your speakers or sound card do not work,just buy and change what doesn/t work,it's not hard to change a sound card.If you do not have a sound card in your computer and the problem is in motherboard,you can still buy a sound card and insert it into your computer.Make sure to set it as default device in control panel/audio devices properties.

Yes, it's probably broken. Try hitting your monitor & see if that helps. If you turn off your monitor & the sound stops, you'll need to get a new monitor.

I would start by changing out the power box. Open the computer and smell the power box to see if it smells burned. You can purchase a new one for under $50.00. When you have a surge, with or without a protector, your power supply will go first. If it doesn't not want to boot up, this means there is insufficient power to allow the computer to boot.\n\nYou can change this out yourself, with the help of some Internet instructions and about a 30 minutes of time. Good Luck!\n\nCheck the video graphics card also. You can test this by placing in another computer and see if you get the same results.\n\n* Well, the fans will work but the power supply will not be able to handle the entire computer. The power supply is weak or damaged, but not totally fried.

Call the people you brought the computer from and have them fix it. They should have given you the CDs.

right click on my computer.Go to Hardware > Device Manager .\nGo to speakers remove the drivers and then refresh the system by right clicking on any icon and selecting refresh. the audio drivers would then be reinstalled. This might solve your problem\n\nGood Luck

I had a similar problem.  I didn't take it to a PC doctor, I just buried it and played taps.  It was three years old and did fine for me in that time.  Now that I bought a new processor, perhaps I'll dig it up and see if anything can be done.

Quickest easiest fix for problems like this is often  to download the newest drivers for your sound card.\n\n1. First you will need to know the name and model of your sound card, right click on my computer, click on properties, select the hardware tab then click device manager. Then click on the plus sign next to sound, video and game controllers. Your sound card is listed here. Sound Blaster is a common device.\n\n2. Type the name of your device into a Google Search to the effect of: "Drivers *name of sound card*" This will give you a bunch of sites you can download the newest driver. Download it to a location you'll remember, like your desktop.\n\n3. Once downloaded double click it and the driver should auto install. Reset your computer and you'll be back online.\n\nIf this doesn't solve the problem try uninstalling the driver first then reinstalling it. If this doesn't work you might have hardware problems. These are too many and too varied to answer here, call a friend who knows alot about computers and have them come over.

You short circuited either your motherboard or your power supply. I am not sure which. If your computer tower was not completely shut off at the power supply and you connected something directly to the motherboard there may have been current flowing when you connected your internal mic. \n\nIn this situation I would mess with the voltage switch on the back of the power supply (with the power supply of the tower disconnected)...switch it back and forth once and then plug it back in and try turning on your computer. If the computer still doesn't turn on you blew your power supply. A new one costs around $80. If it was your motherboard that is toast...I hope it was not an expensive one and I hope you did not fry your CPU as well.\n\nGood luck\nBrad\ninspection338@yahoo.com

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.

Go to start Control Panel, Sound and Audio devices. There you can check/set up your audio. If you have a sound card, go to START and select what ever your sound card is and check its settings.\n\n\n Computer Help Page\n\nhttp://www.diskgenius.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcbeginner.com/tools/pcdoctor.htm\n\nhttp://www.pcguide.com/byop/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/\n\nhttp://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/ntfs-boot-iso.html\n\nhttp://www.disk-image.net/products.htm\n\nhttp://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm\n\nhttp://www.errornuker.com/info/01.php?hop=product1\n\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder\n\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads2.html\n\nhttp://www.ntcompatible.com/Acronis_True_Image_9.0_Build_2337_s61449.html\n\nhttp://www.theosfiles.com/\n\nhttp://www.data-recovery-reviews.com/windows-startup-disasterrecovery.htm?gclid=CMSl0b7X2YcCFSJxYAodKy6Lpw\n\nhttp://www.winternals.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,25181-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/Windows-XP-PowerPacker.shtml\n\nhttp://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,674406,00.asp\n\nhttp://windows.about.com/od/tipsarchive/l/bltip632.htm\nVisit our Helpdesk for PC Bug Doctor\nhttp://www.maximumsoftwaresupport.com\nPC Beginner  software\nhttp://www.pchell.com/support/limitedconnectivity.shtml\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/\nhttp://www.bootdisk.com/utility.htm\nChapter 1: Purchasing Components \nChapter 2: Component Overview \nChapter 3: Installing the CPU, Heatsink, and RAM On The Mainboard \nChapter 4: Installing The Mainboard In The Case \nChapter 5: Installing Drives \nChapter 6: Connecting Components \nChapter 7: Installing AGP and PCI Cards \nChapter 8: Testing the System and Completing Assembly \nChapter 9: Installing Windows XP \nChapter 10: Configuring Windows XP \nChapter 11: Installing A Dual Boot Operating System (Linux And Windows XP) \nChapter 12: Home Video -- “So, You Want to Be the Next Steven Spielberg?” \nChapter 13: What’s Next? \n\nhttp://www.hardwareanalysis.com\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/download4007.html\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/\nhttp://www.free-pc-checkup.com/\nhttp://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/?ref=Googlebspeed\nhttp://pcperformancetools.com/recovermyfiles.htm\n\nBUILD YOU OWN COMPUTER:\n   www.directron.com\n   www.newegg.com\n   www.monarchcomputers.com

After checking the plug on the back of your pc and making sure the speakers are connected properly do the following:\n\nRight click "my computer" click properties, go to the hardware tab and click "device manager"\n\nUnder the heading "sound, video, and game controllers" do you see any yellow bangs or errors?  If you don't then your sound device is fine and you should check your sound settings in the control panel.  Something may be muted or turned too low.\n\nIf there are errors then it means the sound driver is corrupted or needs to be replaced.  You need an updated driver.  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your pc or motherboard and look in support for a sound driver.  Sound drivers usually come in an installable package that makes it easy to install.\n\nIf you still have problems you could have a damaged and corrupted file, sound card, or some type of incompatibility issue.  At that point post another question with more details about your machine and we'll see if we can help you some more. :)
