Sound problems, how can i restore?

[ejl]

I opened a voice chat on AIM on accident and my sound seemed to have got much softer with some static along with it and just does not sound nearly as clear as it did before and everything is on the same settings as it was before. Is there a way i can restore my sound to as it was before? Please help thank you.

Welcome to CH forum!

We need your PC make, model and OS, and your sound card make and model.

I have a Fujitsu N3430 on Windows XP Home Edition. Sound device is Realtek HD audio output i think..

Can you see the device in the device manager (Control Panel)?

Mm, don't see it but in my dxdiag it says device ID is HDAUDIO\FUNC_01VEN_10ECDEV_0262SUBYS_1

There should be a link to System Restore in Accessories, in the Start Menu. If you cant find it, open help and support and search for it.

It guides you through the process very well, so you shouldnt need any help in doing it.

Hopefully that will work. But if it doesnt, reply back to us, and we'll try something else.

System Restore wont get rid of any changes you have made to your "My Documents" folder. It will reset the program files, and registry changes to the specified date.
