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

Well, it depends on what version of Windows you have.  If you have Windows XP, go to :\nControl Panel>Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices>Sounds and Audio Devices>and then go to the Sounds tab.  There you can edit what sound you want to play for each event in the list.  Hope this helps!

If you're running Windows, you can use the Sound Recorder. Located under the Start Menu > Accessories > Entertainment. It comes with Windows so you don't need to pay more.

that's an automatic thing.  go to control panel>>sounds and audio devices>>go to the sounds tab>>scroll down until you see "start navigation">>and set that sound to nothing.  If you like that clicking sound whenever you are still browsing through folders, then you can download Mozilla Firefox.  That gets rid of the sound alltogether.  and its free\n\nwww.mozilla.com

If the problem happens intermitmently like you described, we can rule out the settings (Here I suppose you know how to check the audio settings of your machine).  If so, it must be the hardware.  Since audio cards are cheap (You can get one for $20 and the sounds are pretty decent), install a new sound card.

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

If you access your computer's BIOS, you can disable the onboard sound.  You get to the BIOS by pressing a key when your computer first starts - usually either the del key or one of the F-keys, look for a message that says "Press <something> to enter BIOS Setup".\n\nAlternatively, if you get a sound card, installing that will automatically override your computer's onboard sound.
