If you see the option to Disable all enhancements, select that option now. Otherwise, disable any enhancements you see individual and retest the sound. Click Preview to test the sound. If this corrected the issue, click OK to save your settings. If disabling enhancements doesn't bring back sound, re-enable them continue with this method.
Click the Advanced tab. It's at the top of the window. Select a different frequency from the "Default Format" drop-down menu. If the menu initially had "24 bit" as the option, select a bit option or vice versa. Click Test. This option is on the right side of the window. Clicking it will cause your speakers to play a tune if they're working. Repeat the test with each frequency. If you find a frequency that produces audio, you've resolved your computer's audio issues.
Click OK to close the window when you're finished. Method 4. Open your Windows Services. If the services related to audio on your PC have stopped or are malfunctioning, you may be able to resolve sound issues by restarting them.
Type services. Click Services in the search results. Right-click "Windows Audio" and select Restart. This restarts the primary audio service. This restarts another service that's important for audio. Once you've restarted all of these services, you can close the Services window. Test your sound again. If your sound still isn't working, try another method. Method 5. Open the Device Manager. If your audio drivers are corrupt or out of date, it could prevent sound from playing through your speakers or headphones.
Type device manager. Click Device Manager in the search results. Scroll down and click the arrow next to Sound, video, and game controllers. This displays a list of all audio drivers. Right-click your sound card and select Properties. Your sound card might be called something like "Realtek High Definition Audio. Click the Driver tab. It's at the top of the dialog window. Click Update driver. Click Search automatically for updated driver.
This tells Windows to search the internet and the files on your computer for more up-to-date sound drivers. Install the new drivers if prompted. You may have to confirm this decision by clicking Yes or Install , though new drivers will typically download on their own. If Windows doesn't find a new sound driver, check your computer manufacturer's website for the most recent drivers. If you're still not able to update the audio driver, you'll want to remove it.
Click Uninstall Device , check the box next to "Delete the driver software for this device," and then click Uninstall. Restart your computer and test the sound. Once the drivers are finished installing, you'll want to restart your computer to finish implementing the changes. If your drivers were the reason your computer's sound wasn't working, you should now have sound.
Method 6. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. Any additional feedback?
Submit feedback. Next, select Device Manager from the Programs list. In the Device Manager window, check Sound, video and game controllers category to see if an entry for a sound card is there. Many times, sound cards are displayed in the Other devices category so you must check this also to see if your sound card is listed there. Many computers, especially laptops and notebooks come with built in speakers. However, at times, you may want to use external speakers for better sound quality.

I am experiencing the same problem. How can I fix it? What did you do? Please help and I am not tech savvy - -. I would like to ask information about voice chat in yahoo messenger,I can not talking in headphone in yahoo messenger.
It alway showing that computer not suport oudio format,. My speakers were working last week updated to Media Player 11 and now nothing. The speakers are on and plugged in the correct hole but just wont play, I get an error message next to the tunes I wish to play, somebody help Im so frustrated. My problem was similar to some of you, I moved my pc to another room then moved it back and had no sound. Hope this helps someone. Taleus wrote: I have same problem, but it was my fault.
In the tab on the bottom right where it has two options: one to enable audio device or disable it. I clicked disable for some stupid reason and hit apply. The High Definition Device icon dissapeared and now it reads "No Audio Device Installed" but the the driver reads that everything is working properly.
Is there a way I can make Vista find the device and re-enable it? These are the interior speakers on my laptop, why would it just dissapear??? Hey Taleus, im not sure if you've already resolve the problem but i had the exact problem earlier on. I updated my Realtek driver with the latest one from their website, but that's alone is not enough. You have to bring up the Realtek audio manager, and click on the connector setting on the top right with the folder picture and check "Disable front panel jack detection" and voila the sound is back.
But i found yet another way to try Plug your speakers into the Green colour plug in the back of your computer, Goto realtek Audio manager and in the. That should do it as well. Just remember to turn ya speakers down before clicking hahahaha i didn't. Thank you!
I thought I had tried that but obiously not as they are now working after your suggestion! You saved my sanity! Here's a quick fix you can try that worked for me. Unplug your speaker from the back of the computer then plug it back in. This will bring up the Realtek wizard. Check the box that is appropriate for your speakers in my case it was front speaker out , then click 'ok' and this will reload your audio device and open the device manager. Be sure that the correct box is check for your speaker arrangement and click the arrow to test your speakers.
If this works click 'ok' and all should be back to normal. Have the speakers plugged in bt noting playing. Make Speakers the default. A Green tick appears. You now have to set the default volume to hear their output.
The fault arose with a Hot fix. Of course Microsoft are ditching this peice of bloated operating system as soon as possible as they did with ME so don't expect any true support. ENJOY your new found levels. Now can anyone help me with the usden backwards mouse issue? It clashes with a driver or something for the Wireless card After you have clicked the opposite choice and clicked ok, you are free to go back to the original choice.
Thankyou SO much! I did the same.. I opened up the sound from the control panel, got on the playback tab..
Altec does not supply drivers, they refer you back to microsoft or your sound card manufacturer. Description of Code related errors that Device Manager generates in Windows-based computers.
Also, you can try the steps mentioned below to see if this helps you to fix the issue. You want me to delete those? Or are those different than Volume Controllers? I have been without sound for one month. I gave up. Finally got my sound back. Ask a question. Quick access. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums. Asked by:. Archived Forums.
