Hi my name is Abby.

Im new to this so Im not to sure what Im doing, but I have a problem w/ my computer that it absolutly driving me crazy!

Okay....Well the volume is not working...and I have no clue why.
It was working perfectly fine last night and then this morning it would not let me listen to music etc. I have went through the whole troubleshooting process & it hasnt helped any.

I also could have have accidently deleted something that has to do with the sound or something bcuz last night I was deleting a lot of unused stuff on my comp. It says that I do not have a sound something another on here.....but how would I install it or whatever?

If you know what I can do to help etc please msg back!

thanks!

in the device manager click on view at the top and then in the dropdown select show hidden devices
then go down the list and look for any yellow alongside of anything
click on it and see what it says
yourdrivers may need reinstalling

What kind of audio are you using, is it onboard or have you a sound card installed ?
Like soundblaster etc ?

Hi Abby,

If this just happened, then a system restore will fix any driver/OS problems. Do a system restore to a day before this happened.
