Computer sound mysteriously disappeared

[durae2003]

Hello. My problem is the same as a lot o peoples. One day my sound just disappeared. Im not sure what happened, but nothing works. I have done all the troubleshooting and even let someone else look at my computer, but nothing is helping. I have downloaded drivers and unistalled stuff. Checked all kind of crap that doesnt seem to be helping. I knwo its not my speakers because my speakers work on other things.

What was the last you remember doing before the sound went? Did you install anything before this problem happened?
Have you tried the correct drivers? I think it should be THESE let us know how you get on.

You could try checking Device Manager to see if there is a yellow mark by the sound card driver.

If there is uninstall it and reinstall the driver (could be driver conflict)

If not, try going into Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel and selecting the Audio tab.

Then make sure your sound card is the default sound playback device.
