Goto the link I provided and click Start Detection in the center of the page.  It will detect your system.  Then get the latest drivers for you sound then install them.\n\n- Check hardware profiles under System in control panel and be sure its not disabled.\n\n- Check your bios to make sure its not turned off.\n\nIts probably integrated but if its not then take the side of the system and check to be sure its seated correctly in its slot.\n\nIf these do not work, restore the system.\n\nIf none work, sound card may be bad.

need more information about your system some sound cards have sound effects like echo that can be turned on and off but it sounds like a driver problem

Here is the driver for your sound card. http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=222049\n\nAnd i'm sorry to say that there aren't any free device scan anymore.\n\nBut in case you're interested in buying this service in the future. Buy this one, this is by far the best one.\nhttp://www.driveragent.com/

Just check if there is another program open what is using your soundcard, you can check with (no joke) press Ctrl+Alt+Del and you see which programs are busy. Also you can check at my computer with your right button if there is a problem with your driver, check at the update site from your soundcard

You chould check first what's your brand of your sound card. If it's quite new, maybe the drivers for those aren't there anymore in the manufacturer website. Anyway, from my experiences with dos, i never found any program to test the sound under dos, even though maybe it's out there somewhere. If what you're trying to do is to play old dos games, use the small program dos-Box to emulate dos environment under windows systems. find more info here : http://dosbox.sourceforge.net. Hope it would help. Cheers

check cables, check overall volume on pc, and for creative labs for example there is a sound mixer with volume labels for different types of inputs\n\nStill not working?  Check for switch on speakers, are they plugged in\n\nStill not working? Bring up control panel -> sounds -> check mute button, check volume, click on a sound  like asterisk, hit play still no sound?\n\nFind a geek...

Your sound card could be shot. Click on Start, then go to My Computer, and RIGHT click, choose Properties. A box will appear, choose the Hardware Tab, then Device Manager. This will show all the hardware in your computer. If there is a problem with the sound card, the icon will have a exclamation point (!) in a yellow triangle. If your sound device does or doesn't right click on it, and choose Update Drivers, hopefully it will find one if it's a driver problem. Say your having no luck, download this free program called Advanced Windows Care, hopefully that will fix it if it's a software thing. Lastly unplug your speakers and plug a headset in where the speakers are to see if can hear anything, to make sure the speakers aren't toast. Best of luck

Right click on My Computer go to Properties Go to the Hardware tab next and click the Device Manager button once that opens check your sound card to see if the driver was loaded. If it isn't it should have a yellow question mark on it. You will need to get the driver for your model of sound card. Just find it at that manufacturers website.

Put in the soundcard. Install drivers. If not included look up the drivers for the model number online. Check in device manager and control panel/sounds and audio to make sure it works.

If it is Windows, try this.\n\nGo to device manager\nDelete the device entry for your sound card\nRestart Windows.\n\nWith any luck, your computer will detect a "new" sound card device and re-install the software for it.\n\nGood luck!

You need to install drivers for your sound card.\n\nIf you know what sound card you have you can go to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers from there. If you have on-board sound card refer to your motherboard manual/documentation.
