[SOLVED] No Sound Through Internal or External Speakers

mstrait2008 · Apr 7, 2008

Hello,

I hope someone here can solve this problem because I'm at my wits end.

I installed a Microsoft headset called "LifeChat LX-3000" with a built in microphone. I only want to use it to make online videos for my business. Everything worked fine until I unplugged the headset. I can't get any sound at all from my computer. The internal speakers and external speakers give me no sound. The only way I can hear anything is by wearing the headset. I finally gave up and uninstalled the headset, but I still can't get any sound.

Any suggestions?? Why in the world can't I get my sound back??

First, I am assuming that you still have your speakers hooked up the female mini pin that is green.

Second, go to
Start > Control Panel > Sound and Audio Device properties

3. Click on audio tab. Default device listed should be your onboard audio or sound card. If is not selected, select it and hit apply. If nothing is in the selection box, you may have to reinstall or re-enable your audio device.

4. Click on volume tab. Make sure mute is not selected.

Hi, thanks for responding.

My default device is enabled. The mute tab isn't selected. I have a Dell Laptop and my default sound device is Sigma Tel C-Major Audio. This is nuts. It's like the headset disabled my sound card or something.

It's also a USB headset, if that info helps any.

Well, I've tried a few different suggestions but nothing has worked. I just restored my system to before I installed the headset. Everything is fine now.
