Post by: dukeofac on September 16, 2011, 07:00:46 PM

I have no sound...in my task bar shows a speaker with red x next to it and if I click on it a message comes up saying This page is muted..
I can't get the volume control to show up...

Have you tried re-installing your sound drivers ? ?
Do you see any Yellow !!'s in Device Manager ? ?

And have you re-checked all speaker connections ?

Normally with driver files you double click them and then run setup...

Uninstall audio drivers completely and then install the driver that is working.

1. Click Start,type Device Manager in the Start Search box, and then pressENTER.

2. In the Device Manager dialog box, expandSound, video, and game controllers.

3. Locate the audio device that was included with the computer.

3. Right-click the device, and then clickProperties.

4. Click theDriver tab, and then click Uninstall.

5. Place a check mark next to"Delete the Driver Software for this device" check box, and then click OK.

6. Install the driver that is working.

7. Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.


Hope this helps
