| 804352 | 2009-08-26 03:22:00 | the sound has gone off on the computer. Have checked the realtek HD Audio Manager and not on mute, working and at 62 level; sound/playback speakers are on and registering a sound level; volume mixer device and manage audio device is not muted and registering a volume level, speakers are on at mid volume and they buzz when i pull the connection out of the harddrive. any thoughts? :thanks | penguin2 (13180) | ||
| 804353 | 2009-08-26 03:30:00 | What has changed since they were working Eg: updates, added anything in, Programs / Hardware ?? You can always try running system restore back to before they stopped working - See if that restores them. |

| 804354 | 2009-08-26 03:51:00 | Try another set of speakers. Uninstall audio and reinstall it. |

| 804355 | 2009-08-26 04:06:00 | I have loaded up a few games from Yahoo in the past few weeks (since the sound stopped) and have updated standard things like Comodo, Abode). I tried to uninstall Realtek... but got message RunDLL C:\Prog~1\Common~1\Instal~1\Profes~1|RunTime\11\50 \Intel32\Ctor.dll the specific module could not be found thanks |

| 804356 | 2009-08-26 08:35:00 | Sounds (no Pun Intended) :p That the Audio Drives have gone AWOL. Try this - may or may not work -- Download Driver Sweeper (www.guru3d.com) - run it and select Realtek, hit Clean - remove all the Realtek Drivers, it will more than likely Need a reboot, then as Pctek mentioned - reinstall the drivers. |

| 804357 | 2009-08-30 07:05:00 | I downloaded Driver Sweeper [Download Free Driver Retriever (5.0MB)] and ran it but it kept asking for the licence key. I thought I was downloading the free software? so have made no progress here. thanks Helen | penguin2 (13180) | ||
| 804358 | 2009-08-30 07:11:00 | I think you downloaded a rogue/fake version Here is a direct link: downloads.guru3d.com |

| 804359 | 2009-08-30 19:49:00 | Thanks for that, but from what I'm reading you need the "Driver Robot" to download the Realtek HD audio card driver. This Driver Robot needs registration/payment. Thanks Helen | penguin2 (13180) | ||
| 804360 | 2009-08-30 21:07:00 | The correct download links for driver Sweeper are about halfway down the page on the Left, where it says: Download: * Click here to Download (with installer) * Click here to Download (no installer, pure binaries). The first one - Its free. Just under the links is a picture of what the program looks like. Select Realtek - This will remove the drivers if they are still there but damaged. Then you reinstall the audio drivers-- forget about any programs that go looking for driver updates, god knows what half of them will bring through.(usually malware) If you have the original Drivers on CD that came with the computer use those, other wise go to the motherboard manufactures website and download from there. |

| 804361 | 2009-08-31 21:06:00 | thanks wainuitech - I'm trying REALLY hard but still getting "registration key/payment needed". I went to your link on 26/08/09 7.35pm, got the Guru3D page, found "download with installer" button half way down page, got sent to second page with blue/yellow "download now" box for the Guru3D Driver Sweeper at the top of the page, then got sent down to the bottom of that page with a large picture of "windows vista/driver update", got sent to another page with "Driver Robot", which when installed required the registration key stuff. :thanks |
