Cant get any sound working on laptop.....

Its a Fujitsu Siemens,and im using Windows 7....

Its not on mute,ive played a vid and clicked on the speaker and the green bar is going up ndown but no sound,any ideas??

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