[louise_a]

it might not be on mute but your sound might be right down.

 

[hamshanker]

When i put cursor on the speaker symbol it says 100%................

 

[louise_a]

fair enough, it was just a thought, i do it sometimes.

 

[hamshanker]

haha,no probs but something that im likely to do also

 

[DappaDonDave]

Have you tried turning it on and off?...seriously?

Or try here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/no-sound-in-windows

 

[HotDogAssassin]

Surely turning it OFF then ON would work better? :ears:

 

[ScienceBoy]

Right click on the speaker in the icon tray, click on volume mixer, ensure all are turned up to maximum.

If not that then it might be an issue with the speakers, try plugging in some headphones or external speakers into the green jack.

Yeh been in mixer and all turned up,just tried headphones in but nowt

I wonder if adding buttons to your spreadsheet will help?

Apart from that sounds like the windows help linked to above might help. Fragger where are you when you are needed?

 

[hamshanker]

As long as i can use sledge hammer make it work or not:thup:

Try updating your sound card drivers. If not reinstall the drivers should get them working again if your not getting anything out of speakers or headphones.

how do i do that then???

 

[RGDave]

I have to go into windows 7 control panel quite often to mess around with sound settings.

Have a look, see what's there.

also, it might be accessing the device manager and seeing what's going on.

I've never lost sound on a laptop, as it's only got one sound output, so it could be tricky to find the problem.

 

[hamshanker]

Yeh ive mooched around in there,it says its working ok,ive tried to update driver and says best driver is already installed.....

 

[Andy808]

I haven't used windows 7 to much so you'll have to have a look about for device manager. In there you should find your sound card listed. Double click on it and it will open a window, in that window or one of the tabs there should be a list of options. One of them will be uninstall driver. Do this then turn the machine off without reinstalling the driver. When you restart it will find the sound card without the driver and install it for you.

There isn't a volume wheel at the side is there?

Open a window and see if you can hear traffic going by or birds singing.
If not, you have gone deaf
