No sound from speakers

[Ripcurl]

I turned on my computer and there was no sound coming from my speakers, I checked connections all were fine,

I brought home some speakers from work that work fine at work, connected them still nothing,

I took the cpu to a computer tech to have the whole cpu looked at and told her the speakers won't work, picked up cpu everything was fine according to the tech,

Went home connected everything still no sound from speakers, called the tech she said she had connected her speakers and they worked fine, no explanation and out $50

I just bought a new flat monitor with speakers built in still nothing , not even from the headphone jack on monitor?!

I don't know awhole lot about computers and I'm not sure that I have a sound card or do I?

Can someone please help me out?? I can't afford to just give away another $50

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Right click my computer, and select manage.

Click on device manager. Can you see any yellow question, or exclamation marks next to your sound devices?

If so, try re-installing your sound drivers.

If you have onboard sound, then you can get the sound drivers from your mobo(motherboard) manufacturers website.

If you have a separate soundcard, then you can get the drivers from the soundcard manufacturers website.

I did and there is an explantion point next to windows sound system Compatible (WDM)

I clicked on it then properties and it reads This device cannot start (Code 10)

How do I re-install?

If you click on the first link in my signature, you will find a link to the free Everest programme.

It will give you lots of info about your system, including what soundcard you have.

Once we know what soundcard/mobo you have, we should be able to help you further.

What is it I am looking for to find the sound card/mobo?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

When the Everest programme runs, it will open a window.

In the righthand pane, click on computer, and then summary.

Your mobo should be listed next to the motherboard group.

Your soundcard should be listed next to the multimedia/audio adapter.

Regards Howard
