dirtychicken Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 This is driving me mad Jacob has a new pc - newly constructed by A Man - that we bought 5 weeks or so ago. We have the driver for the motherboard, the onboard graphics card, the onboard audio drivers, etc etc. We have installed the drivers. Still the pc won't recognise the speakers. I have tested the speakers in my pc and they work fine. I have tested other speakers in Jacob's pc. Nothing. I have ensured that all drivers, etc are enabled. They're fine. All hardware is showing as listed (apart from the speakers ) and working. Does anybody have any idea as to what I can try to get the stoopid thing to recognise the speakers, please????

snow Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 What speakers are they? Where are you trying to connect them to? Have you tried headphones to make sure that the soundcard is actually working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtychicken Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Apparently headphones aren't working That's bad news innit? What can I do if the onboard sound stuff ain't working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Speak to the man what built it cos it sounds like it's a problem with the soundcard - did you get any kind of warantee? You have checked the master volume control to ensure that the sound isn't muted haven't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colliemad Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 HI there right try the following right click my computer and go down to properties, this will open a system properties box, click on the hardware tab. then device manager. down near the bottom it should say something like sound video and game controllers. (does it have a yellow exclaimation mark at the side of it?) Double click the sound/video game controllers line and it should expand it and show what sound card you have installed. Right click your sound card and tell it to delete it. Once you have done this go back up to the top of that window and click on the action tab and tell it to scan for hard ware changes, it then shopuld find the sound card . this should work good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
