Try all your control panel setting, look for sound drivers (but that shouldn’t be the problem here). As Daniel said your speakers may be blown or just not working. Take them to a IT specialist for a look.

Your computer may be think8ing headphone are always in, it may be a problem but you could get external speakers that plug into the headphone port. Atleast you would have sound.

Hope that hepled, Brodie

Go to settings/control panel/system/device manager
and delete the sound device and shut down. Reboot
and you should get the message “new device found” see
if windows can install it from the windows files.
If it is not there you will have to download the driver and install it manually.

satya s answers:

Is there a yellow exclamation mark or red x next to the sound card in device manager?

If not, its more than likely you have drivers installed

Try right clicking the entry and make sure its enabled
Make sure your sound isn’t on Mute.

satya s answers:

You need sound drivers.are you able to let us know the brand and model of your computer?then we can direct you to a site to download the right drivers.

satya s answers:

Did your computer automatically install any updates? Go to Control Panel: Windows Update and click “View Update History” on the side to see if any updates were installed that could have changed something on the computer.

If there was something installed, don’t necessarily uninstall the update right away….first try re-installing the sound drivers by going to the Control Panel: System: Device Manager: Sound, video, etc. Then double click on the speakers, go to the “Driver” tab and try to “update driver”.

If there wasn’t anything installed in the updates, check the speakers to make sure everything is working. Go to Control Panel: Sound and it should list your speaker with “working”. You can click on the speaker and click “configure” too, to test the speakers. Also, try (still in Sound) going to Properties to mamke sure that Device Usage is listed as “Use this device (enabled)” and check the levels to make sure that the volume isn’t just turned down (but that’s unlikely if you didn’t manually change it).

I hope that helps.

You have 2 problems. The first is that you paid WAY too much for a ‘VAIO’, and the second is that you use Vista. No one can help you now.

Go on the internet and look for the drivers. You can try going to the laptop manufacturer’s website and look from there.

satya s answers:

Solution 1:
in the far lower right corner of your screen is a small area on the taskbar that is called the system tray. Look for a tiny icon there that looks like a speaker. Double-click the speaker. Click on any box that is checked and labeled mute. Then raise all the slider volume bars by clicking on the slider and not releasing the mouse button and slide the mouse arrow to the top then release the mouse button.

Solution 2:
Visit the support web site for your laptop and download the soundcard driver for your laptop.

Solution 3:
Right-click My Computer and click Properties. Click the Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager button. Click the + sign next to the Sound, video and games controller lable. Right click each one under that tree and choose Properties. THen click Driver tab. Then click UPdate Driver button.

satya s answers:

Yeah, driver guide always works for me too.

Also, what happened to the recovery disk that came with your laptop? That should have installed the OS and all of the drivers.

If you do use driverguide, run Windows Update to make sure that you have the latest drivers.
