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 agree 100%. I spent four hours on the phone with the supposedly techs at Microsoft trying to install my Windows 7 Ultimate. I got as high as a level 2 tech and he tried to tell me all three of my hard drives were corrupt. I called a friend of mine and he came over and got my system up and running in fifteen minutes. I have tried the troubleshooter at least six times, but it tells me everything is working fine, but I still have no sound. Do you have any solutions that I can try? Thanks!

    Hi,

    Considering  the age of the thread, I would suggest you to create a new thread with more details about the issue. This would help troubleshoot the issue in a better way.

    Thanks!
