Maybe something you installed might have fecked up your computer, preferably something that would be made to work with, or overide windows

KrankStricher, lol at triple post I think its the first time I've seen one of those

I have a dvdrw and dvd drive but its reading them as cd drives. Its just the sound i really want as i cant do anything with it until i have sound

EDIT I installed ad-aware today but thats about it. There is no devices showing at all its weird

Yeah My wireless connection is gone a bit AWOL,

Simple solution (if plausible) - System Restore?
that seems odd about your cd drive problem in above post, taht is sometimes caused by the Itunes problem, do you have that?


(FTL;"Ntl's Awol, system restore?")

Maybe it is just your USB devices that have gone

This once happened to me when I ran a USB Tester program and stopped it before it finished and it had temporaily disabled all my USB's

You would be surprised how many things run on USB's on your computer. Alot of things run on USB's internally (like Wifi card, cardreader).

Did you run any software that would have altered your computer in any way, like disabling USB Ports???

EDIT: Just saw your post plonk, Ad-Aware would defintly not have been the cause of it

plonk

Its not detecting any audio device and thats what i want i cant watch films or listen to music. Hopefully ill figure out something and wont have to reinstall windows

Did you try re-installing your audio drivers?

(FTL;"audio drivers?")

Asok

With nothing showing in the device manager I'd suggest you open the machine and re-seat the card if its a pci sound card that is. Its entirely likely that you may have moved the card slighty by tugging on speaker cables or the like.

its built in 7.1 on the mobo. Ive tried everything i ran dxdiag and it told me there was no sound driver. When i install the sound driver it tells me i need a hd audio bus driver and even when I install that nothing, 1 of my mates was meant to be fixing it but hes in cork. SO help
