real player
4 Answers
I have a basic free Real player which I use for listening to the radio on my pc. Suddenly I have no sound!
I have looked at "sound" on the control panel (looks OK, I think) and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the basic realplayer but still I have no sound. I did set the volume slider to the max.
Any idea what is wrong and how I can resolve it please?
Thank you in anticipation.

Do you have any other sounds (beeps - WMplayer etc)
if you do consider downloading real alternative
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alter native.htm
it's free, smaller, works in less memory - and doesn't nag!
I've used it for ages ... great
(there is a quicktime alternative also - from the same site

I'm afraid that I do not have any sound at all. I have had some extra memory added which should not affect it , but as it coincided I guess I shall have to ask if he somehoe disabled the sound!
I have made a note of the real alternative and will probably give it a go as Real player seems to be inextricably linked to Windows media player.
Many thanks for the advice ACtheTRoll.

possibly the sound card was knocked
disturbed the mounting or wire connector
I'd chech this first ... as it sounds favourite
failing that
download the drivers for your sound card
uninstall any existing software/drivers
go to hardware ... remove the sound devices that remain
if at any time windows offers to re-install ... cancel
restart the machine
cancel if windows finds new hardware
install the latest sound driver package

Thank you AC for all your effort and helpful advice. But let me confess the truth.
When I had the memory upgraded, the lad who did it plugged the sound cable back into the socket marked speaker. Have now found out it should have been in the socket with a pic of soundwaves!
I should have checked, or even thought of it as a possibility, but DOH, I didn't.
All's well that ends well, but I feel a "bit of a nana"
Thanks for your input. Guess with my lack of technical knowledge I shall be back for further advice at some point in the future.
