My mate had the same problem, no sound from the speakers, so this is what I did: (Locate the Opearating System CD - or the Recovery CD that came with your computer ready)\n\nI'm assuming you are using XP:\n\n1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel\n2. Click on Performance and Maintenance\n3. Select "See basic information about your computer\n4. Select Hardware\n5. Click on Device Manager\n6. Under Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see a yellow explaination mark, if so click on it to open it\n7. Click Re-Install Driver\n8. Insert the CD-ROM I mentioned above\n9. Make sure Install the software automatically is selected and click on next\n10. After that I cant remember but it should be straight forward

I would reinstall your audio driver. If you have Windows XP, you can type 'dxdiag' in 'run', for more information.

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

You should be able to look up sound driver in a search engine and download a new driver if that dosent work then you might have to go and get a new sound card

make sure they are connected, try the volume, restart your computer, if worse comes to worse you are going to have to uninstall and reinstall them

If you have the recovery CD then you just need to re-install the sound driver. If you dont have it then go to http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/ and look for your sound card and install the driver.

Did you try the "System Restore" feature? This may solve your problem by returning your PC's settings to an earlier date. Did you delete the sound card driver or the sound card itself? Right click on "My Computer" select "properties" then "hardware" then "device manager". Look for your sound card in there to see if it is listed. If so, try to roll back the driver. If not, try the new hardware wizard.

Do you mean you have reformatted your drive, and reinstalled windows and now theres no sound?  Have you checked the Device manager to see if theres any errors in the sound/multimedia section?

Try reinstalling your sound card, or restarting your computer.

Check in the device manager and see if your sound coard shows up. If it is there with a yollow question mark then it has droped the driver. Just reinstall the driver.

If you have a media keyboard, then just use the volume keys. Otherwise, you can click on the little speaker icon in your system tray (the area where the clock is; I don't know your level of expertise). If you single click on this clock, a volume meter will appear. You can just drag this up and down. If this icon is not there, there could be two possible reasons. First, the icon could simply not be displayed. To fix this, just go to the Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, and then adjust the "Device Volume". Another possible reason to the icon not being displayed could be because you have an upper end sound card. Many sound cards' volumes can be adjusted in the same manner described above, but you would be best off if you check with the manufacturer's instructions.
