No sound, not sound

Expand Post »
Hi, Ive recently format/install windows xp home edition on my emachines 4260. Everything has worked out fine apart from the sound. the drivers are there but the multimedia auido controller is not installed. When I click on start-programs-eccessories-entertainment-volume control it rerads "there are no active mixers available......" Ive looked about and tried my best,the best I have done was install a realtak ac97 codec, which was a multimedia audio controller, but not the one that I was looking for. The volume control has always loaded fine on windows before. This version of windows is an upgrade. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated

Re: No sound, not sound

Did you install drivers for your card or did windows detect them automaticly? If the second is true, you should install the drivers from the CD that came with your motherboard/soundcard.

Re: No sound, not sound

Hi, i have done the exact same thing as gary_crapsparov. My computer came ready made, it is a packardbell. Serial number: 049060520032. I tried downloading the drivers from several sources, and as the computer came ready made, it has no motherboard C/D (i think so anyway). the sound card is built onto the mobo. (I cheked!)

Plz help
