Title: Computer help pls
Post by: TightEnd on December 16, 2008, 01:10:24 PM
No sound working: itunes/Iplayer, poker sites etc. Completely mute

MSN pinging, error message pinging etc working fine

speakers plugged in correctly, troubleshooting of sound drivers and hardware shows nothing

what is the likely problem here and what is the solution?

If you have headphones, try plugging them in instead and this will tell you if the problem is with the speakers or computer.




mute too, so its computer somewhere...

Try turning it all off, waiting ten seconds and then turning it on again.  No need to thank me.

If speakers have external power, are they switched on (I know...)

I'm assuming you haven't muted the sound in Windows (double-click on speaker icon in system tray to check)

all fine

Have you been playing online poker? Full tilt messes up my sound in a similar way.

fixed it I think

Audio files needed to be put back onto default. No idea why they weren't on default.

Same here although it doesn't mute it completely, it just reduces it significantly.  About 10 hiours later its all back and fine.  Very strange.

No, not mute
Wow! So they come out ok as wavs and mp3s using a standalone program but sound cannot work through other applications like poker and itunes? Sounds just like what happened to me with Tilt, which is a pain cos I like the sound alerts. Switch on/off no resolve this?
Try upgrading soundcard drivers, Direct X from www.microsoft.com ,  and directplay (I think) from them too.

Sometimes the WAV section of the computer volume controls gets muted for some reason on mine and it's just a case of putting it back.  Usually takes me 10 mins to figure it out each time though.
