Another sound thread - one of many.
Anyway, my sound doesn't seem to be working. My headphones broke a week ago (just before I went on holiday) so I threw them out just before I left. I have now come back and thought it wouldn't be a problem as I have a spare set and some speakers. Anyway I plug my speakers in, restart the computer and you guessed it - no sound.
I am on Windows XP. Things that I have changed since? I have turned off an annoying message that beeps everytime my computer turns on (CPU Fan Speed warning). The last pair was a USB head set pair (the more expensive ones that break just as quick) if that makes a difference. Some files play with no sound others I get the "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the is a problem with your sound device blah blah blah"
The same thing with the headset as the speakers.
UPDATE: I think for some reason I don't have drivers for my soundcard anymore. I think it is inbuilt into my motherboard so I guess I just get drivers for that?
UPDATE: And I have sound. It was the drivers im not sure why when I took my mic away I lost them or whatever
but I have sound now.
