You need to install the drivers for your audio (sound) device(s).

What is the make and model# of your computer?

I have an eMachines W2686, with Windows XP SP3

[SpywareDr]

Try the "AC97_5_10_0_5080.zip" file on this page:

http://www.versiontr...o...6&mode=info

This package supports the following driver models:

• Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA686/8231 Audio Controller
• Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA8233 Audio Controller
• Realtek AC'97 Audio for Intel® Audio Controller
• Realtek AC'97 Audio for SiS® Audio Controller
• Realtek SB Emulation
• Realtek AC'97 Audio
• Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA ® Audio Controller
• Realtek AC97 Audio for VIA ® Audio Controller
• Realtek AC97 Audio

ok i installed it and rebooted. no sound, so what do i need to do?

[Murray S.]

Howdy:

Try the DRIVER from Emachines.

You will have to unzip it and then either go into Device Manager and update the driver or, if there is a .exe or install file, run that.

ok i installed that, rebooted, still no sound

[Murray S.]

Anything showing in Device Manager?

Did you check to see if the sound was muted?

[Brian D.]

its in the device manager and the volume is all the way up.... i hear scratching noises when i plug and unplug the speaker, however. also, when a computer next to the speaker transfers data to and from the net, it makes that noise also

[Murray S.]

Going to ask the obvious here, but are the speakers working and are you plugging them into the proper port?

Murray

[Brian D.]

yeah they are.

i probably sound like a computer-illiterate....

just a little stuck on this situation, is all

[Murray S.]

When you unzipped the driver download, what were the files that were extracted?

[Brian D.]

From what I can see, none of those drivers are for XP but try "Setup (InstallShield Setup Launcher)"
