no sound

I have no sound coming from my speakers on my laptop. I get no sound from headphones or other speakers either. There is also a slight buzzing sound coming from the laptop speakers, but you cant hear it unless you put your ear right up to them. I dont know what to do. My audio is sigma tel audio. Please help.

Hi - list the operating systemn and laptop model if you can. Perhaps it's something as simple as raising the volume slider bars and making sure something is not muted asn drivers are fairly current - and the device manager looks ok.

windows xp, gateway laptop. It's not the volume slider or the mute.

Try re-installing the sigmatel audio driver.

Or, if you know your notebook model/os (gateway) go from here.

nope, neither of those worked. Do you think I may just need a new sound card?

Sounds like it would benefit you to get a Creative Extigy or something like that. You can also get USB headphones that come with their own sound drivers and don't require you to install a sound card.
