Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

No device present:

You check the Sound, video and game controllers and there are only Codec drivers listed no hardware.

You know there is a sound device installed in the system, but the hardware is not being recognized by the Operating System.

When you start the system up one of the checks the OS will do is hardware scan, it detects all the devices in your computer.

With the Device Manager open right click on the name of your computer in the right column, a box will open that says: "Scan for Hardware Changes". Click on the button.

The system will scan for new or undetected hardware, this may or may not bring up your device.

If it brings up the "New hardware found" box then install the hardware, if not
then you will have to get the drivers for your device and install them.

The drivers may come on a cd when you bought the computer or the device, or you may have to go to the manufacture's web site and down load the drivers.

Follow the installation procedure the manufacture provides with the drivers.

Do you have sound?

Yes!! Done! Job well done!

No?

You have a failed device.
