No sound

[browndmb]

I usually listen to the radio on my computer but today there was nothing so I set about tweeking this and that but to no avail. I have no Technical knowledge so am just maybe making thing worse. Any help or is it a job for the experts. This has only come to my notice since moving on to a new Orange modem to allow me to get WIFI so has this any bearing on the position. Thank you for any aid or is it a job for the experts to be called in . I could live without sound I suppose.

Can you get any sounds on your PC or is it specific to whatever you are using to hear the radio ?

Just in and have to report there is no sound anywhere and I have a HiPoint box which came with the computer and it has no sound either.

Right click on "my comuter", then "properties". Choose the "hardware" tab, and finally click on "Device Manager". Scroll down until you see "sound, video and game controllers" (or similar). Click on the + to the left to expand. You will see something like "Realtek High Definition Driver" (there may be two different ones, in which case do the following for each one). Highlight and right click on this. Choose "update driver". Hopefully this will find an updated driver which will get you rolling again. If it does not, go back and right click again, this time choosing "uninstall driver". Then reboot the machine. When rebooted, the computer will come up with "found new hardware". Let it reinstall everything, and hopefully you will have sound again. Hope this helps.

I could'nt hear any music or sound on my laptop for some reason, someone suggested i download and use Google Chrome which I do now and have no problems with sound.

I have done everything I have been told and I now have sound as to whether it was an Orange thing or resetting my Realtek sound driver. Thanks to all and I will keep the chrome option for any future probs
