no sound....

[Rol87]

hey i dont have any sound I think i deleted the sound program because befor the sound was working i deleted a program i didnt think it was going to do anything to the sound and now i cant even listen to music.

[acousticlemur]

what sound card do you have? and what did you delete?

[randomperson21]

could you list a full sys specs?

a few things to try:
The obvious: Is it muted? Are your speakers on? And plugged in? (sorry, i had to ask)

The less obvious:
Go to start-> control panel -> Sound -> audio tab, and make sure your sound device is listed as the default playback device.

its custom build

Soundman also comes with sound cards using Realtek audio.

go into device manager and see if theres any driver issues w/ the sound card. you also might want to try reinstalling the audio drivers as well.

is it integrated sound or is it a pci soundcard?

9 out of 10 built in cards are made by REALTEK..
In a few words Download these 2 drivers

The Plain Driver if the PC is Over a year old ( Choose your Operating System )

Or the HD Driver if its a new one ( Choose your Operating System )

If its a PCI Card then you must find out which one.
