Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Just to fill you in: - A long time ago I started using a headset on my laptop Toshiba for online conferences. Sound worked fine for both the headset and the built-in speakers on the laptop. None of these have any warning icons next to them. I'm not sure if it's just checking my system or if it's checking the internet also.
Click the Update Driver button next to your driver. The correct version will be downloaded and installed automatically. Or, you can click the Update Drivers button at the bottom to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out-of-date on your system.
If you cannot find the right driver for your device, you can request the driver. We will find it for you. Or, try the automatic option instead. It is software which finds, downloads and istalls the correct driver for you - automatically. After downloading your driver update, you will need to install it. Driver updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. So I ended here No modern PC can and should do without sound. Windows XP as well as a lot of applications use sounds to give feedback to the user, or to signal an event happening.
And when you play an MP3 file or watch some video, you definitely want to hear sound from your speakers or headset. Another typical area where sound problems can come up is while making voice calls over the internet. When you are facing audio problems, a structured way of finding the cause can be helpful. We will skip the steps where you check if everything is plugged properly, since that should always be the case. If your audio card uses jack sensing technology, make sure you select the proper device when asked about it when plugging devices.
In some cases you will see a concrete error that can help you fix the sound problem in Windows XP. The media player you are using can give an error, or you can check the Device Manager and see an error on the audio device. Typical examples of sound errors in Windows XP are:.
In all cases it could be an audio configuration problem, but often it is a driver problem. The best approach is to go through the steps below and check each aspect. Also click the Volume button in the Sound playback group and adjust the Volumes to a high enough level. The Volume Control will show the mixer, which does depend on the audio device installed. The sample has a SoundMax audio card. Clear all the Mute checkboxes.
With these steps, you have checked and adjusted the sound setup in Windows XP. If sound problems still persist, chances are there are problems with the sound settings in the application you are using. If the sound problems are present for all applications, there probably is something wrong with the hardware. The best application to test your sound setup with is the Windows Media Player, as it will use the standard Windows sound setup, which you just verified and adjusted.
Also clear the Use bit audio for audio CDs for now to make sure that this Performance setting is not causing any problems. For testing purposes, use an audio file that was installed with Windows XP. These audio samples are standard audio files, which do not require any additional or special audio codes.
Other applications that use sound will normally have a similar option to change the sound device selection and volume. For games, the sound setup is particularly sensitive.
The right and latest device driver is often required. When a computer plays an audio or video file, it will decode the audio or video data to be played with the sound device. Each different audio and video format requires its own decoder, or codec. One of the possible problems with no sound is that the right audio codec or video codec is not installed. You can try and find out which codec is required and then find and install that code, but luckily there are a number of codec packages that can be downloaded and installed.
One of the most used codec packages is the K-Lite Codec Pack. With that installed most audio and video should play without problems … and with sound. There are more of course, a quick internet search can help you find others.
Knowing exactly what type of sound card is installed in your computer can be of great help in looking for solutions to sound problems. It can help you find the right sound driver, look up software and maybe help search the internet for more targeted problem descriptions based on manufacturer and model.
One handy way of finding out which sound card is installed is to use a program like Belarc Advisor. It will analyze your system and tell you about your hardware and software. John — From what I know, upgrading to Windows 7 on your E laptop might not be a good idea. You will only be able to run the bit version, so there will not be much to gain. From what you describe, you could try uninstalling the audio driver, and then reboot. Windows should pick up the default audio driver for the on-board ICH7 audio.
If it does not work, try reinstalling the original Dell driver for your laptop. See if it works, or in an error message shows up. One other thing. I tried other. Hope this helps explain my problem. Thanks in advance. I lost complete sound for some unknown reason. There was sound from the headphones, but that eventually was also lost. F12 Diagnostics Audio plays great sound from my on board speakers, except for the mono test which failed.
Any suggestions please? Would installing Windows 7 possibly fix my audio problem?
