Laptop sound not wokring

[Arsenalftw]

So I was just on my laptop as usual, everythings fine then BLAM, the sound stops working. I didn't download anything, the laptop isn't overheatting, nothing. any ideas?

Why are you posting this in the malware section?

First thing you want to do is reboot and see if that helps.
Second, look in device manager - any errors?

I rebooted and it didn't help, also i went on sound in device manager and it says everything is working properly

[Allan]

Go to Control Panel - Sound and check to make sure sound isn't muted and volume is at an audible level. Worst case, reinstall the sound driver.

Is everything else working normally?

[Arsenalftw]

it says everything is working properly but when i test them i dont hear anything. how do i reinstall the sound devices?

[Allan]

Download the driver from the website of the laptop manufacturer and install it.

Just to make sure - you've tried playing sounds from different sources, yes (ie, Media Player, CD, the Web, etc)?

[Arsenalftw]

yes ive played from everything and it doesnt work

[Allan]

If it still doesn't work after reinstalling the driver it's possible the sound card is shot.

iTunes has nothing to do with the issue.
