Is the sound card integrated into your motherboard or a seperate actual card?

If it is removable, try pulling it out and reinserting it into the same or a different slot. Somtimes the vibrations and dust can make a card loose and it loses contact with the motherboard.

Of course, this is after you try switching speakers. Is it possible that someone else unplugged the speakers and when they plugged them back in it was into the wrong port? (Like the microphone port for instance)

I tried reinserting and now the sound card doesn't show up anymore... if I wasn't talking to a certain someone I'd try it again

Uh, I should have mentioned that you should turn off your computer first. Some power supplies have their own switch too, make sure to turn that off. Did you put it back into the same slot or into a new one?

To tell you the truth it sounds like your sound card is dying to me. Did you get a whiff of burnt silicon when you opened your computer case?

Any how go into your sound setings and make shor its on the new drivers may of turn the the pc's sound maniger off. That happend to me once. If that don't work take out your sound card out of your pc place is on a hard flat serface then get a large hammer then prosead to bet the shit out of it.

it's ok now, was just a little loose

fireknight40 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 27, 2005, 05:33:29 PM »

Congratulations on getting your sound to work. Any idea what made it come loose though? Seems kind of strange that it would just decide to jump out some so that it wouldn't work.

BzK · « **Reply #13 on:** March 27, 2005, 05:38:23 PM »

might've been collecting too much dust in there or something, my dad used an air compressor thing on it and blew out all the dust

Sounds like the environmental audio is on, usually this is only used by game applications. Check your driver's environmental audio settings.

Did the sound drivers you installed also install any sound card managing utilities? That's where I would look.
