I lost the sound on my laptop. When I push the mute or volume button on the fron of the computer the volume level shows about half full but it won't let me raise ore lower the volume. It is as if it is permanantly muted but it says that it is not. The only sound I ever get is an occasional loud beep.

When I go to control panel and audio device it days that there is no audio device. I have been told to look at my device manager but I don't know where this is?

go to control panel for audio device see what is set.. open up speaker icon too see if all the mutes are not on .. each has a equalizer switch not just one ..

check the volume on media player if you are running any.
try mycomputer - click on control panel - select sounds and audio devices - increase sound on the bar by clicking on speaker volume.
