Title: Problem with my sound card! Post by: Scottish Dave on December 17, 2009, 11:07:45 AM Never noticed till the Green peace thread but for about a week now, ive not been able to hear any audio on my Laptop.
I thought it was only You Tube clips, so i tried to to play a movie, again no sounds, then tried to play some tunes on Spotify, and it came up with a message at the top of the screen saying 'The is a Problem with your sound card, Spotify could not play this song.' Anyone know how to fix this? Kev, give The Ginger One a Nudge! Title: Re: Problem with my sound card! Post by: G1BTW on December 17, 2009, 11:11:15 AM Check that it's seated properly?
Download and reinstall the latest drivers? Sounds simples but it's always one or t'other for me. Title: Re: Problem with my sound card!

Hold it at the point where it goes into the PC and wiggle it gently from left to right, does it move a little or does it feel solid? Do you have a box or any other documentation that might let you know your brand of soundcard? Did you buy a PC all in one with the soundcard included, if so what make/model of PC?

Double click it and a window will open. 'Uncheck' the box which currently says 'mute all' Simples Title: Re: Problem with my sound card!
