go to

Go to control panel>sounds and audio>sounds--be sure volumes are up, speaker config is correct, and nothing is "muted." Otherwise, use the xp that works?! Onboard audio? Sound card? Speakers? Multimedia keyboard? Need input.:monkey:

Cheers Nightman..

P.S. i really dont want to just use another instalation of windows..this one is great aside form the sound..

Sounds like you got a compatibility issue. So far, I don't anyone will be able to solve it coz your information seems pretty vague. I can't really think of a solution for your card, but why don't you use PartitionMagic and copy the drive that works with the sound card, and then paste it on the drive that doesn't work. Shouldn't that solve the problem? However, it would be faster to re-install Windows which is what I think you should do.

more info

I agree with 133t_Tek- we need more info. Is it onboard sound? The only possibility I can think of would be to uninstall the audio in the version that works, then install it in the other version. That may be why everything is greyed out in the non-functional one. Otherwise, I dunno.

vague..hmm..ok..

thanks guys ..the copy of one system with sound working onto this defunct one sounds interesting ..but i dont trust partition magic that much..its onboard sound..sorry should have told you that..but i think the problem goes deeper then devices..mabey registry...any ideas..anything else you want to know..?

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Try uninstalling, and reinstalling your sound drivers. If you haven`t already.

If that doesn`t work. Maybe doing a Windows repair might.

Instructions for the repair can be found HERE
