No sound is coming from my speakers OR headphones at all on my computer?

Question

okay, for the last two weeks or so, i had the mixer device problem. the mixer device problem is when you click on the volume control on your computer, you get a pop up thats like "blah blah blah there is no active sound mixer device, w/e, to get one go to add hardware in the control panel," yeah.
but it seems that i solved that (i went to this yahoo answer, and it told me to go to driverguide.com and register and search for Realtek AC97 Audio, so if you even have this problem try that lol) for now, and now i have a new problem:

there is no sound coming from my speakers and headphones whatsoever! does anyone know what i can do?

i think what could have caused this was when i was removing programs to make room for this new pc game i got i was deleting security updates because there were tons of them, or it could be the game itself. idk. help?????

Answer 1

try the sound trouble shooter, in sounds control panel, config your sound for speakers or what ever. if no soap, use restore to a date you had sound. when you uninstall anything, use windows add/remove, or use it in safe mode.

Answer 2

Double-click the speaker icon on the bottom right of your screen. If you're on Windows XP, you may have to click the little, left-pointed double arrow to display all icons and then double-click the speaker icon. The sound dialog will be dislpayed.



Uncheck any "Mute" check-box that has been checked. Move all the sliders all the way up.



Close the dialog box (it doesn't have an "OK" button so just use the "X" on the top right to close it).



Restart the computer. If there is still no sound, call the local computer hardware guy to take a look.



All the best.
