Answer 1

click on the start button > help and support > fix a problem link > search for troubleshooting info

Answer 2

It is probably your sound card drivers.

You'll either need to find the CD and reinstall it - or download it from the web. Shouldnt be too hard if you know what sort of soundcard you have.

You can look up your Hardware by right clicking on "my computer" selecting 'properties' and viewing 'device manager' under 'hardware'. It should give you some idea of what sound card you have.

Or you could try using a Windows Restore Point and going back to before you deleted it.

Answer 3

try rolling back your computer to an earlier date probably to before you started deleting files. you can go back several weeks by using System Restore located in [Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools] If that doesn't work you may need to get the audio drivers reinstalled.

Answer 4

Google SoundMax and find the driver for it and then download and install it.

Answer 5

if you have a headphone jack you can run a line out into a Audio RECEIVER SPDIF DEPENDING ON A PORTABLE OR DESKTOP

Answer 6

Please post what kind of computer you have... (ie dell dimension e520) someone can give you a link to the sound drivers for you machine...
