[jibmaster_josh]

same here dude. i've been dealing with it for about 6 months now. horrible.

call your computer service support thing. talk to some asian guy for 2 hrs. and get it figured out. my guess is something with your registry and the install for speaker drivers wasn't correct...

soundcard might be broken. hapened to me before and i had to swap one out of an old computer...

now im just trying to plug earphones from my ipod in but those dont veen work with my computer

Threaten the computer, tell it you'll take his lunch money and beat him up.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

And that is why you should go with Mac.

Listen I have a mac as well and love it, but you are being a little too smug.

Macs ad PC's use the same hardware, and if his sounds card is broken its not the os fault.

 

[mmallender.]

if his audio card broke, having a mac would not be any better, mac's have audio cards,video cards, etc, just like any other computer, if fact it might be even worse because of the way the casing for most macs are much harder to get off, and much harder to fix if the problem is hardware.

Right click on My Computer. Go to Properties. Click Device Manager. Find your Sound Devices. Find your sound card, if the device is there. Whether it is or isn't, try and find out what kind of sound card you have. Look up updated drivers online, download them, and install them. That should fix it, if not, your card is probably dead.

And I hope you covered all the obvious bases first. Like, you are sure you don't have your speakers muted through your computer?

 

[user098123]

Oh ya, and ignorance is bliss.

try my computer, then control panel, printers and other hardware, add hardware, there should be some setup thing popping up, click next, click yes ive connected the hardware. there should be a list. scroll to the bottom and click add a new hardware device (its last), then click install the hardware manually from a list, click on sound and video game controllers and on the right there should be something called Legacy Audio Drives. click on it, then click next, and just keep clicking next. thats what fixed my problems

 

[Silence]

thats pretty much on point

 

[tBatt]

hmm, did you look at porn, then go to ctrl + alt + delete to delete any viruses that would be in your processes folder, go deleting random things and one of them happpened to be your sound card driver, did you ??

casue i did that like a week ago, and im pissed.

 

[Silence]

^ UNder those circumstances the driver would reload with a restart?

 

[VT_scratch]

yea its been happening to me for like 2 montha on and off now. i tend to find that when I restart my computer everything is fine then randomly it will stop again.

this includes trying to plug in headphones
