    my sound stopped working
    « on: January 13, 2009, 05:26:33 PM »
    Today I turned on my computer and the sound just didn't work. I tried restarting and it didn't help. It's not on mute and the sound is turned up to the loudest. I checked all sound settings and it said that it's working properly. But there's absolutely no sound!

      assuming you have not recently changed nor added any new hardware associated with sound.have a look at hardware/device manager and report any yellow exclamation or question marks. I assume we are dealing with external powered speakers here. Try another set of speakers plugged into the appropriate sound output jack. truenorth

      Do a system restore to before the problem started. Go back a couple of weeks.

      Note that a couple days before the problem started would suffice.
