707160 2008-09-25 23:09:00 Naa, I've tried both headphones and speakers, and tested the speakers separately.

I don't know where to find up-to-date Legacy audio drivers.

the "Legacy audio drivers" entry in device manager is not your sound card.

if you're using the integrated audio in your motherboard, then tell us what your motherboard is, and it will be very easy to find the right drivers.

The model number is printed on the board usually, and often in between 2 of the PCI slots or near them.

707162 2008-09-28 18:58:00 M2N E SLI (Or MZN E SLI), Asus. Is that what you guys needed? TheChaosSeer (14203)
707163 2008-09-28 19:08:00 Drivers here (support.asus.com)

From the drop down boxes you need to select As Shown Here (www.imagef1.net.nz) - then select XP when the box pops up.

Note: tried to copy the actual link to the driver page but it keeps reverting back to the selection boxes as above.

707164 2008-09-29 03:24:00 kk. I went to the site and found the drivers for my computer. I installed the latest download, which installed a sound configuration program as well as audio drivers. There is still no sound.

I double-checked everything again in case during my tamperings I did something stupid. No cords were effected, no other drivers turned off, no volume muted. When I view the sound configuring device as I play music, it even shows the rhythm to which the music is playing (those balance bars that fluctuate with the music, you know). The only problem is I head no sound.

Btw, when somewhatly serious errors occur on my computer, it promptly beeps with the internal speaker or whatever (you know that little device that can do rudimentary beeps and was often used by the old Quest games for it's simple SFX? Yeah, that beast).

It's like nearly every part of my computer doesn't understand it doesn't have sound functionality.

707165 2008-09-30 03:48:00 I suppose that this problem has hit a wall no one can break through? TheChaosSeer (14203)
707166 2008-09-30 03:59:00 Have you tried another sound card?

Are you able to preview sounds in Control Panel, Sounds and Audio devices, Sounds?

707167 2008-09-30 04:19:00 On the Task Bar, double click the Speaker Icon, when it opens make sure nothing is muted. When it opens top left click Options/Properties/playback, make sure the audio Device is showing. Example (www.imagef1.net.nz).

Also make sure the volume slider is right at the top of the slider.

Are you using HD Audio on this PC ?

707168 2008-09-30 17:02:00 I cannot preview sound on either my control panel options nor on dxdiag. Nothing is muted or turned down. No cords are damaged, nothing is imbalanced to a damaged speaker. In my properties I am currently set on Playback.

I cannot test other sound cards, as I have none and can't afford any for a good while. I'm using an onboard 5.1 card that I do not believe to be HD.
