computer crashed and erased all drivers had it fixed but dont have no sound?

Answer 1

I've had this no sound problem and apparently it can happen quite often, it's happened to me twice and you need to put your recovery disk in, select install, windows xp, driver, audio,install now. this should fix it if not I would talk to the people that fixed your computer and they may have to reinstall the drivers. gl Mel ;-)

Answer 2

Right click on MyComputer from the desktop icon or the start menu. Chose Properties then Hardware (tab), click the Device Manager button. Scroll down the list to the topic of Sound / Video and Game Controllers and expand it open so you can see what is listed.

If you believe that the audio drivers are installed on your system. Locate your Audio driver in the list. Here are some examples...

Legacy Audio Driver.
AC 97' Audio Controller
SB Live Series!

Find your specific Audio Driver file, right click on it and Un-install / Remove it. (the Audio driver should be one of the only items that has the "Un-install / Remove" option under the right click.)

**WARNING *** Do not remove any of the video or audio Codec's**.

Restart the computer and Windows should come back up and say it has found new hardware and Windows will install the software. Your sound should then work.

If your sound still does not work, you might have to go to your computers manufactures website,(such as Dell, Compaq, Emachine sites). Choose their Support and Drivers section. Put in your make and model of your computer and bring up the list of drivers. Look for your sound driver, download it, install it and follow the programs on screen directions.

Good Luck

Answer 3

You may have lost the software to your sound card. Check down in the corner by your clock and see if there is an icon like a speaker. If it's there your software is installed if not you have lost it and you need to get tech support from your computer manufacturer.

Answer 4

Reinstall the sound card drivers again
