1320195 2012-12-25 03:17:00 Hi all,
I accidentally disabled the driver for my speakers (or the devices thing in the control panel) so they don't work now. Can I enable this driver again? The speakers are connected to the Audio Out port in the back of my PC.
If I can't enable is again, what can I use instead?
Thanks!

You may also have a Sound Manager sometimes accessible from the System Tray, if so look in there to see if somehow you have disabled the speakers.

The next option is delete the audio driver, and see if it reinstalls on reboot.

Lastly, download the driver from the motherbord manufacturer.
