What Operating System and Hardware are you using?
And what few things have you already tried?

not too sure m8 sorry,the computer costs 1300E IF THATS HELPS sorry

Karoma

Ok... Using Windows I'll assume..

Are you using speakers?
Test with headphones??


If still not working with headphones: ensure that the speaker icon in the tray (the area next to the clock) doesn't have an X (i.e. The sound has not been muted)


if still NOK:
Click on Start -> Control Panel ("Switch to classic view") -> open System -> click on Hardware (Assuming XP) -> Click on Device Manager -> Click on the little + next to Sound, Video, and Game Controllers
List what is there.

Karoma

or take a screenshot

davidgti

ok i got this far
Click on Start -> Control Panel


Click on Start -> Control Panel ("Switch to classic view") -> open System -> click on Hardware (Assuming XP) -> Click on Device Manager -> Click on the little + next to Sound, Video, and Game Controllers

Karoma

on the left hand side there's text,looks like a hyperlink that says "switch to classic view" - click on it.
or, in the current view (lots of purdy icons?) -> click on performance and maintenance..

Karoma

(If you're still having difficulty: Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc )
This is where we wanna be..

No output on headphones?

davidgti

ok got this click on performance and maintenance..

I can't think of a single possibility where that would be of any help whatever.

Is there a little Speaker icon on the button right of the screen?
If there's isn't then go to "Start > Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > "Volume Control" and make sure that everything is turned on in there.

The purpose of the System Restore is to revert to a previous Windows config..
First Q: When was the sound last working?

Click on Start
Then All Programs
Accessories
System Tools
System Restore
Choose "Restore my computer.."
You will be presented with a calendar: Left click on a date (that is in bold!), on which date the computer was working OK.
Click next, follow on-screen instructions...

This will take a few minutes and restart your computer... Click OK/close on restart.

davidgti

this is the last thing i done m8
>>>If not, Right-Click on soundmax integrated digital audio
