Go to Control Panel, system, Hardware, Device Manager, look for the sound manager, if it has a cross against it, open it and go to reinstall/update drivers, it will ask for the driver disk, if yours is a standard one, use the cd supplied with the motherboard to re-intall the sound card.\nOtherwise do a search on the net for the card makers site and download the applicable drivers.

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

Reinstall the drivers.\n\nYou can look in the 'control panel / system / hardware / device manager', and make sure that your sound card is showing up under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.  If it's not then you have a hardware problem.

go to device manager and reinstall the sound driver, it is probably corrupt, just click on reinstall driver

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.

Make sure that your sound card hardware in your computer is installed correctly. If necessary, re-install the driver for your sound card. If you don't have the driver for your sound card, contact your computer manufacture.

You have lost your driver for your sound card. What you need to do is reinstall it. If you know the make and model of your soundcard you can download the driver from the website of the manufacturer, or if you have a name brand computer you can go to that site and get the driver, or you can open your case and see what kind of soundcard you have, if it is built on the mother board that company will have your driver

3 ways to do this\n\nIf you have XP, just do a windows update. Choose custom, then click hardware on the left. It should display an update for your sound driver.\n\nIf you don't have windows XP, find the "device drivers" disk if you recieved one with your computer and reinstall the sound driver.\n\nIf you know what kind of sound driver you have, go to the companys website and you can download the latest version. This is the best option, but the other two don't require you to figure out what sound driver you have.

No volume meaning no sound ? Or just no icon ?\n\nTo get the icon just go to the Control Panel then click sounds \n\nIf your sound is not working then make sure you have the sound card driver installed. If that fails make sure it is connected to the computer.

Your audio divers may be disabled, or there may be too many duplicates of the same item in your device manager.\n\nIf you are sure which one in the list of device manager Is your audio, first right click and disable it.\n\nRestart pc.\n\ngo back and then uninstall it.\n\nRestart pc\n\nIt will detect the device and reinstall once you bootup.\n\n~ Sometimes Windows Update has sounddriver updates. If you built your own pc, you have the drivers on cdrom. Otherwise they are in the system.\n\nIf all else fails, you may be able to when asking for drivers, manually find them and tell it to not search automatically. Then you will browse on a list of device types, and find a generic sound driver.\n\nGood luck.

possibly the sound card was added after the original restore was made, or the card was changed, YOu will have to find out which one you have and download drivers for it

if you have your mother board cd dump the sound drivers first and later go to the windows restore and select the desired files from the restoe.

either you have no sound card, or the drivers for your sound card aren't installed (properly)...\n\nif you have any driver installation cd (that came with your pc or sound card) you need to use it to install the audio drivers. \n\nif you have no disc, go to the website of the sound card manufacturer and download drivers from there.\n\nif you have a motherboard with integrated sound, but no drivers, then go to the mobo manufacturer site and download from there.\n\nif you have no sound card at all, you will need to buy one!
