Dell 120L Sound Issues

Tech_Mason · 05-08-2008, 01:45 AM

I am having some troubles with a Dell 120L with Windows XP Pro installed, there is no sound coming from the speakers on the laptopa nd no sound coming out of external speakers.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the Audio Drivers, I have tried Stoping and staring the Windows Audio Service and I am stuck.
Anyone know of a fix?

Welcome to TSF.

Try loading a system restore point from before the sound disappeared.
Look in device manager (click View >> Show hidden devices). Any red or yellow "marks"?
Scan your computer for malware.

Thanks!

No, nothing, it's a new install as the laptop had a sys file error, so i have reinstalled windows and i have installed all the drivers for the laptop, but with no response with the sound, it is like it's not even there....
