Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

You will find more Troubleshooting techniques in the Self Computer Repair Unleashed! Manual.

Now you will have to make a decision:

Try a new driver or call a tech?

To try a new driver open the Audio Properties and go to the Driver sound card tab, you know the name of the manufacture and the driver version.

Click on Update Driver, if you have an internet connection let the program search for the driver, it also has the name of the driver and version.

If a search for the driver fails you will have to go to the manufactures site and find the drive with the information from the Audio Properties.

After downloading the driver follow the installation instructions.

Once you have the new driver installed test the sound (see Device installed section for testing instructions).

Do you have sound?

Yes? Done!

No?

You have a failed device.

You will have to replace the sound card (if it is embedded you can install a sound card in a slot, be aware that if an embedded device fails the motherboard will fail in a short period of time, see page 78 of the Self Computer Repair Unleashed! Manual for motherboard replacement).
