I'm getting no sound from the system, system speaker or headphones or external speakers, including no beeps at startup. Everything else seems to work fine. I've also checked the obvious stuff (speaker is not muted, volume turned up, speakers plugged in, etc.). What should I do next? Thanks.

Hey,

Just a few quick question to get the problem on track.

What OS are you running?
Is you sound card a PCI one or is it onbaord?
Are there any problems within device manager?

Also try -

Look under Display for any errors. Also what is your Display Device?

Also check the Device Manager: RT click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager or go to start/run/ devmgmt.msc for any "!"

Also: look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the source & event id especially of errors that seem to coincide with this issue.
