406527 2005-11-22 19:00:00 I have a new computer, built for me by a relative up North.

Asus P5P800S motherboard, Windows XP. I can't get any sound out of it, either via speakers or from within the machine. I've checked device manager and reloaded Sound Max from the CD. The mute isn't on.
Any ideas on where to go next please?

406528 2005-11-22 19:58:00 Are the motherboard drivers installed as well?

Check in device manager. See if there are any ?'s here anywhere.

406530 2005-11-22 20:45:00 Speakers plugged into the green port? Metla (12)
406531 2005-11-22 21:09:00 Have you got a seperate sound card? Greg (193)
406532 2005-11-22 21:12:00 Speakers turned on.

Speakers plugged in.

If you have a little speaker icon on your task bar by the clock, double click on it and make sure theres no tick in the mute box where it says speakers.

406533 2005-11-22 23:30:00 Yep, the speaker plug is in the green port and powered up. No separate sound card. Mute box is unchecked. Still a mystery.

406534 2005-11-22 23:52:00 Click on sounds and audio devices / speaker volume. Move both sliders to full.

Then the audio tab / sound playback / volume. Then make sure the volume control is right up and the wave slider is right up.
