I have no idea what started this problem, but no sound will work. ive just bought a new sound card, and the computer reads it, yet WMP says there is a problem with it. ive been to the device manager and it shows no sign of problems with the sound card. ive done the DirectX diagnostic tool, and it says nothing is wrong. i have no idea whats wrong with the sound. any more idea's?

what sound card is it?

have you tried re-installing the driver for it?

yea, ive reinstalled the driver many times.

the sound card is Sound Blaster Audigy

have you got sound on the motherboard, is it disabled in the BIOS?

what was the old sound card, did you remove the drivers?

im checking the BIOS now, and my dad says we were using the on-board soundcard, so maybe thats the problem, ill check it out.

what type is it?

have you tried downloading drivers from here aswell?

also, do you have onboard sound?

Edit: sorry, waited a while before posting as i am a little buisy so i did not see your posts!

i have on board sound, and just turned it off in the BIOS, still not working, so im downloading the driver from the website you gave me.

if you go to the control panel click sound and audio devices.... go to the audio tab and select the appropreate device for playback and recording.

Hope this helps

when i goto the Audio Devices and goto the Audio tab, it wont even let my choose anything, the tabs are all greyed out. Also, uner the volume tab, it say's there is "No Audio Device"

you probably need to install the drivers.

are your PCI ports enabled in the bios?
