    No Sound, Driver is there.
    « on: July 28, 2009, 09:23:06 AM »
    I'm not sure what had happened.  After a format an reinstall a while back everything was okay.  When I tried to watch a clip I noticed there wasnt any audio at all.  I checked an got the most recent driver ofr it off the site.  Its a dell demension 4100 win 2000 + sp 4
    Windows 7 RC Tester.  Working on it.  Your monitor says etchasketch on the side!

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

    also, don't forget to check that you got the speakers in the right jack.

      Exactly, a chipset driver that you don't think applies may apply.

      Also make sure that the Windows Audio service is enabled.

        Never said that, I dont know if there is or not.  Not sure if it is, I do know that the speaker didnt show in the task bar tray an had to tell it to be there.  Its all right but still nothing.

          I'm not going to do a reformatt when the machine has been working well for almost six mths.  Its just one driver that I had put in the other day but still nothing.

          No one is asking you to reformat...
          They are however asking that you re-install ALL your drivers.

            My ONLY advice and my last post in this topic: You had reformatted - so you must reinstall all your drivers.

            Good Luck.

              I don't understand why you consistently ask for advice and then ignore it or refuse to even try it...
