Where's my audio device??!!
    #5573898 - 04/30/06 12:26 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

So I give my PC to my girlfriends dad to fix it (its a HP). He reinstalled windows xp, installed office, and took some of the useless crap like the games that come with it out so it would run faster.
Anyway, now it doesn't play any sounds at all. I go to control panel and it says I have NO audio device. I know he didn't take anything out but I can't figure out how to get my computer to make noise again. I'm not going to see him again for a couple of months to find out what he did to it.
I'm basically retarded when it comes to computers so can somebody tell me what the hell happened or what I can do to get my audio device working again? I miss my tunes! Thanks.

Find out what sound card you have then download drivers for it. If you don't know what the model is just take it out and look at the card itself.

I would go into device manager. right click my computer/ properites/
hardware/device manager. Find your audio, and make sure it says
use this device (enable). If it does,but still dont work, uninstall
it( right click, and unistall), reboot and see if it will install it correctly. You say its a HP, but he reistalled XP for you. It could be
your missing some drivers you need( maybe on the HP disk)?

Try restoring your default bios settings. Hit F1 while rebooting. Hit F5,select Yes, and then press F10 to save the default BIOS settings. Happens to me on my HP all the time.
