Hi Tom,
open up your case and check that all the boards are plugged in snugly. Check all the cables too. You must have kicked the computer across the room

right click my computer then properties then hardware and then device manager.... look if your missing the sound driver which will have a yellow sign by it if so... go on www.realtek.com.tw and download the ac97 audio codecs under downloads at the top

Hi Jase123.

then i tried useing the creative volume control

What use is there in downloading an AC97 codec for a Creative sound card?

I know you`re only trying to help and believe me, we appreciate it. However, it might help if you read the original post properly before replying.

Regards Howard

Yes Howard,
Tom just moved his working computer across the room... He might have left a cable connected. By accident this cable (sound) pulled on the audio jack and dislodged the card. I hope the card or motherboard is not damaged
