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.

    Please reinstall the Sound driver software (which is generally distributed with your Mother Board CD) and check again.

    I cannot get my speakers to work.  I had to take my computer in for a virus and they backed everything up and reinstalled etc.  but now I have no sound.
