My speakers aren't working. I notice svchost.exe gets to be a memory hog. Once I end the process, I would turn on my speakers and find they don't work. I looked in Control Panel - Sounds and I read "No Audio Device". I think speakers die after ending svchost.exe, I'm not sure. I did something with wuaclt.exe(not sure what the spelling is) and found that my speakers worked. That was after resetting. I hate resetting, however. I reset my computer this morning and the speakers still weren't working. I don't want to reset again. I've checked the cords and stuff. Looks good. So I don't know why the speakers aren't working...

Make - I'm not sure how to find this out. Could you help me out with that?
Model - System model is D845GVS1

The make and model of the computer. Packard Bell, HP, Compaq, Gateway
The system model number you supplied seems to point toward motherboard as a Intel motherboard
On a side note Your memory is minimum for running XP. I would suggest increasing that to 1 gig
From your initial description it's not a speaker problem but a driver problem. You keep losing the audio device in device manager.
Go HERE to download the audio driver for your motherboard. Install it and then see if everything works.
I am also suspecting that your audio may be failing since it keeps leaving the movie show

I don't have the money for increasing the memory. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway. Everything is now working, thanks a bunch!

Can I ask how you got it working? This may help someone later who might have the same problem and read this topic.

Okay. I followed the website you gave me. I downloaded the "Automatic Realtek Driver Update Tool". I installed Driver Robot and followed its instruction. I reset my machine, turned on my speakers and found that they were working.
