Erfolg Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The dound system with my PC has stopped working I use windows 7 So far I have gone to the control panel, selected "hardware and sound", gone to "Trouble Shooting", then "Audio playback, done a check, with the result of no problems. From the control panel I have selected "RealTeck Audio Manager" and undertaken a "audio driver update", the reply was current driver installed. All the indications are that the computer thinks it is out putting sound. I have tried also using the monitor speaker rather than the Creative speaker system, which uses a different lead. Any ideas, before I take it to the PC repair shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Duvall Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Have you accidentally muted it? Look for the speaker icon at the bottom right corner of the screen; if it has a thing like a red no entry sign across it, it is muted. Click on it and unclick the mute.

Spice Cat Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I had this problem before and I believe I cured it by uninstalling the Realtek software from control panel uninstall, create restore first, then rebooting. Normally the system "finds" the software again and reinstalls it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have checked the mutes, and there were about 2 or 3 available, although they could be the same page, accessed by another route. What does seem strange that one of the tabs on the page, seemed to indicate that the two channels on the "Realtrek" IC device was outputting. With my skills it is probably the PC shop.

Alan Cantwell Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The problem could be the sound drivers need to be reinstalled. . go to your computer manufacturer's website and go to the support & downloads section. From there, select your model PC and download the appropriate sound driver for your computer. Then just double click on the file it downloads and install the drivers. i cannot claim anything for this, i just copied and pasted it, Edited By Alan 4 on 21/02/2012 18:08:01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Smith 1 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have had the same problem with my PC now and again and before you do anything drastic let me tell you how I resolve it. It could be dust on the sound card as when it happens to my sound or lack of it, I lift the sound card from the seating and blow it and push it firmly back into its seating and hey presto! sound back again. You would have thought that something that sits there and doesn't move all day wouldn't need tweaking but it certainly does so give it a try.

Erfolg Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I will have to take it in, that it is before I upset all the software set ups, I have run Microsoft and Epson diagnostic checks (came up as part of the Microsoft scan). I cannot believe how many issues it thought I had. I foolishly clicked onto fix. I now hope there are no adverse consequences from this action.

Daithi O Buitigh Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I had that recently (same audio setup). What happened was that the MS Audio service had stopped running for some reason. One thing about Realtek - if there's a problem with the speakers or they aren't plugged in, it will shut itself off - I changed the leads on mine and it came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
