Sounds card problem (no sound)
Hi,
Common issue, especially after installing NeroMix, etc.... Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key: HKEY_USERS. If it doesn't have a Data entry in the right pane that reads: (value not set), double click (Default) and delete it. If it does, check your HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21 keys for the same.

SoundBlaster Live 5.1 XP -------- My sound card used to work.....now I get no sound I tried to reinstall the drivers from the retail cd with no luck. All the settings that I can see look fine....the device is selected and the volumes/mutes are all ok. I don't see any sign of a conflict and its enabled. It's not a hardware problem since when the computer starts, the bios manages to play a sound clip stating that the computer is booting. Anyone have any suggesting how to get my sound working?? I'm quite sure its a driver problem but it doesn't seem to make a difference to reinstall them. (I tried to uninstall the drivers before reinstalling them, and I also let XP find the drivers itself...both with no luck). Help Help Help Thanks |

Sounds card problem (no sound)
Try reseating the sound card in the socket, that should do it, while you
have it, clean off dust and then look at it closly now make sure all you contacts are there and in good condition, I had the same problem once, but it was my memory cause my computer to do strange and interesting things, some of the contacts had been corroded cause a general memory failure in certain chips. So I cleaned the card and the socket and then proceed to switch the memory cards places, I have had no problems since. "E-Star" wrote in message ...
