After formatting my pc and reinstalling windows, i tried playing some music but had no joy. I looked in device manager and 'media control devices' had a yellow question mark over it. So i tried installing the realtek driver from realteks website. When it was installing, it got to a certain point and resarted my computer. So i tried in safe mode, it finished installing and said, along the lines of ' hardware installed, in order for it to work properly your computer needs to be resarted'. So i let it restart, it got to the windows loading screen and resarted and kept doing this, so i went back to safe mode and removed it. I still have no sound............. Any help? Thanks
 
Please download and run System Specs and then manually add all found information to your Profile

Also state your operating system exactly (Windows Xp 32bit?)
If your computer is a brand name (HP; Dell) type that in the motherboard field ie Dell Dimension 2100 or whatever it is)

Then reply back with Specs are in
 
Hmm that's strange, I can't see any specs in your profile
Can you please re-confirm, go to your profile, and scroll down to Additional, under there is where all your System Specs, need to be added
 
Hi Darrenbilly,

You have to go back again!

Your mobo says Windows Xp (this should be in the OS part

And the packard Bell should be in the Mobo - but I will need a model number too, they made lots!

Also I might not be able to reply for a while, I was just about to log off, when you posted

Huh, I just read that post in 2007 Bigfellla
That's strange, also one link missing (must not be needed)

Anyway, it fixed their computer
 
Did not work!

I have done all of the above, twice, but it has not worked. I've not tried the asus. The second computer has not been fixed with bigfellas post. Anymore help please?

Before you ask, i have not got the drivers and utilities disc.

Thanks a million
 
Did it accept the driver ?
And it it enabled in BIOS and in device Manager?
Is the sound card showing in Audio in Control Panel ?
 
?????

Not sure what you mean by the first two, but i know that it is not showing in Control Panel. It downloaded no problem, then restarted, but still no sound.
 
Sorry I'm getting confused

Packard Bell - OK
Asus - Not OK

I think that's right

Did you try post #11 drivers
-------------------------

Also the first 2

BIOS (or more clearly CMOS) is the part of the computer setup, that you see when starting the computer (Hit DEL or F2 or something) to enter setup (displays for a few secs)
Is Sound enabled ?

And Device Manager

Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc

best to remove any yellow querrie drivers (right click remove ok)
Then restart
Then install driver
 
My bad

Sorry, i've confused you.

Packard Bell: Not ok, tried what bigfella said, no luck.

Asus: Not had a chance to try post #11

I will try everything in your post tomorrow, i have to go to bed now. Thank you again, thank you also for being patient :monkey:
