After my recent repair s on my system, I ahev no sound.
Before I get someone to open it up and check the sound card, I wondered if there
were settings ,drivers or whatever, that could have been turned off as a result of
the repairs.

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |

Given the recent series of posts from you AFTER REPAIRS, such as bookmarks lost, email munged and now sound lost, I think I’d be having a “consult” with whomever did your “repairs” if I were in your shoes. It kinda sounds like someone didn’t do such a nice job of those repairs.

AskWoody LoungerDecember 29, 2009 at 7:02 pm #1194530Probably a driver. type device manager in search>sound tab>is you device listed? does it have a yellow triangle on it? are there any “unknown devices” with yellow on them. If your driver is listed you can right click go to properties and check the status tab. It should say working properly
