If your pc needs a certain specification to be able to run either music or games, it should tell u what you need. Once you know, you can download it.

Make sure you are logged in as an administrator.\nThen go to Driverguide.com, you will need to register, but if you cant find your driver on there.. you wont find it anywhere.\n\nIf you have already downloaded the files (extracted all zip files).. Go into settings control panel, system, hardware, devicemanager.. then right click on the offending sound device.. and click update driver.. if it doesnt do it automatically, point it manually (brows for location) and see if it installs the drivers for you. Do you know what kind of mother board you have.. post it on here and someone might be able to give you an exact link to the drivers you need- since it seems your sound card is built in on the mother board.

You can go to your control panel and click on your "Sound and audio devices" icon doing so will get you the "Sound and audio devices Properties" in this window go to the Audio tab in the top and see if any thing is listed under the default device if there is nothing listed try clicking the drop down menu but if you see the menu has been disabled that mean your sound card driver have been corrupted. If your sound card is an internal sound card inbuilt on your mother board then try using your mother board CD and install the audio driver... I think this will work. \n\nBest Of luck

Check device mgr - if all are sound devices are working properly - go to start>control panel>admin tools>services - scroll down to Windows audio. Make sure it is set to Automatic and all dependant programs are enabled.\n\nUnder the recovery tab select "restart service" for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd failures.\n\nWorked for me....

You probably need to update your sound card driver to the latest, go to the site to check it out.

try to check if you can launch another multimedia application to test your audio. if it has the same problem, then u probably need to resintall the audio driver itself

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

you need to downlad and install the drivers for the sound card. Right click on the My Computer icon on the start menu or desktop, whereever it is, go to properties, and click. go to hardware, system devices. You sound card or it might say audio device will have a little yellow mark next to it. double click it and go to drivers, and update drivers. make sure you are online, and it should find the drivers for it

Check if your speaker is connected correctly on your computer. Check if it is not muted. If it still does not work, reinstall your sound card. If it doesnt, maybe there is a problem either on your sound card or on your speaker. To isolate it, try connecting your speaker with other PC, if there are sounds produce then we can conclude that most likely your sound card is defective.\n\nRegards

by the sounds of it you droped your sound drivers... What you need to do is this first off check to see if the device is working properly to do this you need to click on start then click on control panel then click on system up at the top you will see some tabs.. click on hardware and in the second box you will see device manager. Click on the device manager box and wait for it to load. Then scroll down until you see sound,video and game controler click on that and it will bring up the list of things you have within. If you see any astrick near any of those things such as realteck AC97 audio and it has a astrick you will need to relaod the drivers for the sound. To do this you need the cd that has either come with your computer or if this is not a name brand computer you should have a mainboard cd. When you put this into your computer just reaload the drivers for the audio and everything should be fine from there... hope this helps

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.

try looking for the driver in www.driverguide.com\nur gonna find it there. If it isnt there, i recommend buying a new sound card compatible with XP .

Look around your speakers for a headphone jack...if you don't see one..then you have to unplug your speakers and put your headphone jack into that jack.\n\nGood Luck

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:\n\n1. Go to the control panel, check sound.  Is it muted?  Is anything muted?\n2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.\n3. Make sure the card is seated properly.\n\nOnce you've done these, go to the control panel, then system, then hardware, then device manager and make sure the computer knows the card is present and installed.  Make sure it thinks it's running.\n\nGood luck.

always check the simple things like power adapter not plugged in, power switch off, speakers plugged into wrong hole in audio card/motherboard etc etc. and then check to see if maybe your network card is causing an IRQ or address conflict with the sound card.\nLook in the system section of control panel and see if your sound device is offline.\nIf it is, you may need to manually configure your network device.
