No sound today??????????

beachbum86 · 26-January-06, 08:10 PM

i turned on my pc this morning to find that there is no sound

i tried playing an mp3..no go. then a movie, no go. then started a game and stil nothing.

i have a sound blaster live 24bit. i did a driver update, that didnt fix it either.

WTF, it was working fine last night.
any ideas?

Thanx.

quit turning it off, oh and your card probably died!

I had this problem once before, it ended up for some reason or another my card came lose so i pulled it out and then put it back in and then did all the updated drivers then it worked fine after that have you tried doing that BB.

Ps this might sound stupid but just for the hell of it make sure your sound card did not get disable in your Bios i have also seen that happen before.

Thanx for the replies guys, well i play all my sound through my souround sound dvd player in my room and for some reason thats not working anymore, because i just plugged in my pc speakers and now its fine...weird, because i just run a line to my aux1 in my reciever/dvd player and just use that , i checked all the connections and its fine. the dvd player still plays sound just not for my pc anymore

im gunna check it out again and see why TF its not playing for my pc.....

thanx again for the quick responces.

That is weird sounds like a possibility your sound card might be sh&ting out on you, i hope you can find out what might wrong with it.

Try re-installing the sound drivers again.....they may have gotten corrupted........

n your control panel under sound-audio is it showing the sound device you have working?Under audio playback is your default device named and enabled.If so try update driver in device manager and then your physical card.If all fails it may be bad,but I have never had 1 quit on me.Jo

yup i had that same issue with one of my sound cards...

reseeding / reinstalling driver would work for a week or so... what eneded up fixing the problem was moving it to a diffrent pci slot

ranger1033 · 27-January-06, 07:48 PM

I have to totally agree with THRiLL KiLL on this, if for some odd reason the pci slot you have it in has a issue a would try a different pci slot. It is worth a shot to try it a difeffrrent slot. Hope you get your sound back beachbum86 with out buying a new sound card. Good luck to you...

ive had similar issues with my card and even a driver reinstall didnt work. go to you control panel and check something for me. do your drivers use the Audio HQ?
