| 476964 | 2006-08-08 01:31:00 | The day I got this computer, I've had problems with the sound. All of the speakers on my Logitech 5.1 system never seemed to work at the same time... until recently. I did a bit more experimenting with the speaker wires in different sockets and the like... and there we have it, all of my speakers work. Joy to the world. However... MySpace, purevolume, Flash, Shockwave, etc. still refuse to play sound. Now I'm thinking it's more along the lines of not having the proper stuffs installed. This idea is further reinforced by the fact that when I try to play videos on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com), it says I don't have the proper Flash version installed. This is an untruth at best, which I assumed could be accredited to me preferring old dainty Internet Explorer over a newer sleeker browser. So... I tried Mozilla Firefox. Viola, I have video! But no sound. Humm... What can a man do without sound from the internet? What do you decent folks recommend I do? Points of interest: Up until recently I had NVidia firewall, which has been known to corrupt downloaded files. |

Do you get any sound from the system period,ie: go to sounds & audio devices in the control panel,the sounds tab, select any windows event from the box which has a speaker icon next to it indicating sound association with the event, and click the play button (triangle). Do you hear sound? |

Do you hear sound? No sir, I do not get any sound from the system. Except from Winamp, luckily. Another point of interest is that the integrated sound on this mobo came with realtek garbage that installed with the drivers and constantly runs. I'm afraid to uninstall it for fear of not being able to hear my sweet sweet music. |

| 476967 | 2006-08-08 02:37:00 | Update -- I just remembered that sound works in Windows Media Player, both the standalone player and the player integrated into websites. | Catastrophe (10933) | ||
| 476968 | 2006-08-08 15:12:00 | Bump. Still need some help. :( |

| 476969 | 2006-08-09 01:11:00 | I would say sound is running on the pc if you get sound from other applications. Check for latest drivers and how you have the speakers setup. It appears to be a config issue to me. If it is a realtek chipset, then they have a software utility to help setup the speakers, check on their web site www.realtek.com.tw Look is device manager, that will tell you the chipset name and check the driver date while you are at it. Could be audio codex's not installed too. |

| 476970 | 2006-08-10 06:58:00 | Thank you for the advice, however, I don't believe it is drivers, or else the sound wouldn't even play in Winamp, right? And yes, I did check to see if they were up to date, just to make sure. The speaker configuration program says my speakers aren't set up correctly, but if I put them the way the program tells me to, none of them work. Genius programming. And I don't think you need any codecs to hear regular window sounds, right? If this helps any, my computer is refusing to detect Flash. Everytime I log into myspace it says "Download Flash 9 to blahblahblah", same with Youtube. Maybe I should do a complete driver/flash/shockwave wipe from my computer and start from the beginning? I would have no clue on how to go about doing this, though. |
