Sound card

[druiaghtagh]

My sondcard has supposedly stopped working, i cannot use Windows media player although the Microsoft start up sound plys, how do i navigater to device manager and use it to check out the sound card please?

Press windows key and pause together..this should bring up system properties.

Click on the Hardware tab,then Device Manager.

There you can check to see if the driver is installed correctly...Otherwise if you know what your soundcard is just reinstall the driver :/

What's Windows key and "pause" ?

Failing that, right click on "My Computer" , choose "Properties" and under the "Hardware" tab there's a button that says device manager.

Or, if you're really lazy, click Start, Run and type
devmgmt.msc

Ah, right... the "Pause. Break" button near the numberpad.
Good call.
