Hi there,

For no apparent reason i no longer have sound on my computer. Most videos can be seen but no sound.

it will not play CDs as it says there may be a fault with the sound device.

I've checked with Windows help and it says the sound devices are ok.

Thanks for any help

James

If you have a PCI Sound Card try going back to the motherboard's audio to test.
