The Nature Of Lots Of Sound Card Problems
It might sound idiotic but many of the sound card issues I see in my Philadelphia computer repair business turn out to be carelessness instead. The first step if this is happening to you would be to check your connections. Make sure that you have not plugged the speaker jack is not the line jack of the sound card. If you amplified speakers, you should also make sure that the sound is turned up, and that the mute button is not pushed. You should also check the Advanced audio options to make sure that the sound is not muted through the system. This also happens many times. Now you should open some media documents and see if you’re able to hear anything. If this does not work you could also go to “my computer” and right click it. Then you should click properties and look for a sound card, if you see a yellow exclamation point there, you may need to reinstall it. You may also have it disabled under BIOS and may need to consult your manual under the advanced peripherals section to figure out how to enable it again.
