i hooked up a high tech microphone to the computer and an external sound system(with an audio interface)..Anyway I had to do some adjusting to the audio preferences in order for the system to work correctly. One day the sound just went out...I try to play music, windows sounds, games NOTHING came out. So i disconnected the system and decided to go back to my regular desktop speaker system, when i hooked everything up and tried to put the configuration back to normal still NOTHING!!!
I'm usually pretty good with technical stuff but this situation is a tuff titty for me...
Can someone please help me?!?

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:
1. Go to the control panel, check sound. Is it muted? Is anything muted?
2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.
3. Make sure the card is seated properly.
Once 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.
Good luck.

First, you need to make sure your sound card is not dead. So uninstall the driver from Add/Remove programs and then from device manager. Restart your machine and see if windows detects your sound card. Install the drivers.
If it is not detected, check to make sure it has not been disabled in the bios (for onboard sound).
For a pci sound card, you may try plugging into a different slot.
Lets hope stray voltage from the "external sound system" has not made way into the sound card.

If the audio card or geared up-in circuitry has no longer been harmed, then sure. purely open the gadget supervisor, suitable-click on the workstation icon on the properly suited of the gadget hierarchy, and prefer to verify for hardware differences. The deleted audio card or subsystem could be detected returned.

If you don't have a sound card,you have onboard sound chip. You must go to the motherboard manufacturer to get the sound chip- driver- or "chipset" to make it work again. It sometimes can be found easier if you have the chip numbers for reference.

If you know how to go to the device manager, check to make sure your audio device is enabled.
If you don't know how to get there
Go to start>run and type sysdm.cpl
Select the 'hardware' tab and click device manager
