217024 2004-02-20 23:13:00 Ok me mates audio has died. He had to do a system restore and after he did that, he's got nothing!! Went into device manager, and on volume it says no audio device and everything is greyed out. Speakers are plugged in. When we click on Control Panel > Audio Device Control nothing happens, it won't open. There's no speaker icon in the system tray. Also, clicked on Sounds and Audio Devices > Hardware and highlighted everything on the list, and it comes up that everything is working properly. Lucy (182)
217025 2004-02-20 23:18:00 Well the simple answer is... the drivers for the audio card aren't installed. That's why there's no speaker in the system tray.

Quite simply put all you need to do is install the drivers and it should go, unless of course the hardware itself is buggered.

What kind of sound card is it?

cheers

It's ADI onboard Sound Driver Multiple System.

Cheers.

Right click "my computer" and choose properties. Get into Device manager and see if you have any yellow ! or red X .

217029 2004-02-21 09:14:00 Make sure onboard audio is enabled in the bios menu. rsnic (3780)
