    computer help
    « on: September 14, 2008, 12:53:43 PM »
    I recently purchased a 'refurbished' computer (no manuals or installation CDs), and I'm not getting any sound. I know my speakers work. Any ideas?
    Here's what info I got from Unknown Devices:

    Chipset: SiS 65
    OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
    Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
    Nvidia Corp GeForce FX 2500 [NV34.3]

    Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    Is the sound integrated in the motherboard, or a separate card?

      I believe it's integrated. I opened the PCU and where the speakers plug in, there's a mustard yellow box with pins.

      Who's the manufacturer and what's the model number of this computer?

      Desktop or notebook?

      When you say "refurbished"...what was fixed and/or replaced?

      Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
      Open it, click Computer, then Summary.
      In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
      Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
      Don't include anything under line Debug - PCI
