deleted sound

evilbert

i somehow deleted sound from my computer when cleaning up my c drive. there's no little icon down in the corner anymore & when i go into control panel it doesn't give me any options inside sound & volume to adjust anything, it just says there are no sound devices - even though the same sound device is connected - using earphones doesn't even work!

anyone know how i'd fix that?

cheers

theres piles of stuff you could do so heres what i would do
most likely you deleted your drivers somehow :S anyway try get out your old disks u got with the pc see if you can reinstall the software/drivers from there

try searching for hardware changes in your device manager (right click my comp and under hardware there should be a button that says device manger)

try doing a restore (found in start programs accessories systemtools) to go back to a date when it was working

if you feel confident enough open up your pc case and see what audio card you have( if its not build into the motherboard) and take down the serial number look it up on the manufacturers website for drivers and software

if its an onboard (ie its around the place where your mouse keyboard usb and graphics card is up higher try look up your motherboards site for the drivers) if its an oem you could look up the make like on dell they have a part of their website if you just look up the model you get all the stuff u get on the disks ( not os obviously but drivers and utilities)

You should have a CD that came with the computer to reinstall the sound card driver.

right click on My Computer find the device manager then locate the sound card and delete it hopefully on reboot the OS should try to reinstall itself
