sry, forgot to add this part. when i go to control panel and open up sound and audio devices and go to hardware, it says that my realtek ac'97 audio for VIA (R) audio controller has a Code 10. this is the driver i installed last night in attempts to fix my original driver i was having problems with (the one that i tried to play songs with that had no sound). this new one won't even let me play songs at all. the one i took off (that worked for the last year i've had this PC was the VIA AC'97 audio controller). thnx.

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case

Then go here to Via tp get the VIA AC'97 driver http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx...SubCatID =104

Hope this helps

This from VIA on how to install To install the driver, save any unsaved work and close all applications then click on the driver download link (above). Choose the "Save File" option and save it to your folder under Windows where you file your drivers. Unzip the file. (To unzip the file right click and highlight "Extract All") Then double click on the Setup.exe file to run the installation program. Follow the prompts and restart at the end of the installation.

Hope this helps

Very coy this board, Lite-On don't list the model and nothing at HP, but the board for Intel has ALC driver, try this from Realtek http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True
download the (Excution file) save to desktop and double click to install. This site can be slow

if you know the make and model of your computer then come back with info please, just to make doubley sure .

hope this helps

In a word Google, this Gateway is an eMachine, the motherboard is First Intenational Computers the board K8MC51G, and once you are used to searching motherboards the clues are there. Of course they really don't want you to find them, but it can be done. happy listening

[AlucardNoir07]

no clue what all that just meant, but you are quite successful at doing it, and thus i must conclude that you are a genius (also taking into account that there are 70 pages of this forum that you have been solving audio problems on for almost a year now). i will also come back to you for anymore problems i may encounter (i am currently enjoying my new Muse CD "Black Holes and Revelations") muchos gracias otra vez! es muy bueno ahora.

[Serres_Vale]

Im sorry to be a bother, but I did everything you said, and it looks like everything should be working (Like windows medai player will play the song, But I cant hear it) And I have no idea whats wrong. Ive messed with my speaker plugs in the back, and still no good. any Ideas?
