My sound has stopped working for some reason. i tried putting in different speakers and even headphones and still no sound. i tried reinstalling the driver, and nothing. it happened suddenly and i dont remember changing any settings. any suggestions on what to look for or how to fix it?
thanks

Check the volume. A while ago someone had no sound, turned out it was all muted in the volume controls.

 

[ezzy85]

yeah, tried both of those, still nothing.

Is the sound card identified as a problem device in the Device Manager?

 

[ezzy85]

it was being identified without any problems. i changed the slot, as above, and its ok now. thanks guys for your help.
