Morning dex_dx,
I will get this started before heading off to work.
First thing needed is a little more information.
(1) What O/S are you using, i.e, '95, '98, etc.?
(2) Did you ever have sound?
(3) If you previously had sound, what were you doing when you first noticed your sound wasn't working?
(4) Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Systems > Device Manager > and check to see if there are any 'Yellow Explanation Marks or Red Warning signs'in the 'Sound,Video and Game Controllers' area. If so, by what item?
(5) Is your sound icon showing in your task bar? If not, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Multimedia > and make sure "Show Volume Control on the taskbar" is checked. If it is in your task bar double click on the icon and make sure none of the volume settings are set on 'mute'.
(6) A few programs available to help identify your sound card are (a) Belarc Advisor, (b) Lavalys' Everest Home Edition and (c) Msinfo (this one might already be on your computer).
However, if you can answer the above questions someone much more knowledgable than myself will come along and be more likely able to help you.
Regards and good luck,
Phil
