Audio Device/Sound Card

[LostInOKC]

I have no sound on my computer and I've tried all the troubleshooting options they give you - But to no avail...  It keeps me telling me that there's no audio device and/or sound card loaded - And I'm guessing that means I have to have the disc to re-load it - But I don't have the disk, and so   Help !  Thanks !

Hello!
Additional info please..
Hardware Specs, OS, have you done anything before the problem, troubleshooting options you have done, etc..
Thanks!

Not sure what all you're asking - As I'm not a computer guru or anything like that...  But I tried all the troubleshooting options offered in MicroSoft and it's a Dell Computer and it's Windows XP Professional...  It just keeps saying there's no audio device and/or sound card loaded...  Thanks !

Click Start > Run. Type dxdiag on the box.
First Tab will show you your Computer details. Check also the Sound tab and let's see what audio drivers your computer is using.

You could also check Device Manager.
Right click My Computer icon then select Manage.
Click on Device Management and see if there's a yellow exclamation mark.

samara, start your own thread, do NOT hijack another persons thread.

But I don't have the disk

If you do what jerryheavyarms suggests that will identify the sound card that you have.  We can then assist you in locating an online driver for the card.

opps .... sorry 

That's okay, just start a different thread.  It gets confusing if we try helping more than one person per thread.

Watch your language, and start your own topic.

Watch your language,

  I don't see any profanity, some spelling and grammar, but no profanity.

I just noticed that it was edited after my last post.
I'd thought that I was either losing my mind(again) or that you had
