If your computer is having problems playing sound, try using the Playing Audio troubleshooter to fix the problem. It checks for common problems with your volume settings, your sound card or driver, and your speakers or headphones.

To open the Playing Audio troubleshooter:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.

2. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting.

3. Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot audio playback.

4. Follow the instructions in the troubleshooter.

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s7410n PC and after upgrading to 7, I have no sound. The troubleshooter turned up nothing too. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

I tried the trouble-shooter but it could not identify the problem. It seems a bit flakey. If I mute my laptop when i am docked into the docking station it seems my sound is lost forever ???

I guess my problem is uncommon. All the usual stuff doesn't seem to work. Checked Device Manager, drivers, connections. (LOL) plugged speakers into my iPhone... they work. The sound just works when it feels like it.
