Loss of sound.

[jane1098]

I cannot seem to get any sound from my computer (since my daughter pretended she was me..bless)

I've been through all the channels and still no luck. All my systems say that my sound is on but...it's not.
Has anybody got some advice (apart from get a new comp...lol) they could give me........................Please!!!
Cheers
Jane

have you tried the volume?

sound card working - and sound card turned down or muted are the same thing

mute generally leaves the volume slider up up as well

you'll need to look in control panel - and perhaps at the prog provided by the Mfr

oh and give her a slap - over clothes, with kid gloves (when I was ikkle, kid gloves had studs in and were used very liberally on kids).

....hide her phone first so she can't ring the police ;-)

Thanks AC. I've tried all of that and still no sound.

My daughter's only 3 and I don't think she knew what she was doing so no slapping....lol :-)

If you have any other ideas that would be great.
Cheers again

as far as I know - windows its self doesn't have a mute button or shortcut (anyone?)
media player uses f7

is it a laptop
do you have a Fn+something to mute the sound?
(dells have Fn+end)
or is there a "real" volume control on the side?

I've counted on mine ...
media player
control panel
Fn+f8 or f9
and a real vol control on the side
also a master setting in bios
and if I had them - there could be a vol control on headphone or speaker
so there are a few "could be" options

what was onscreen at the time? - I'd guess it was something obvious like a key combination or mouse clicky thing ....10 little fingers and all that
so that's the sound icon in the system tray
media player
or real player
fn+?
or a twiddly bit on the side

it's unlikely (but not impossible) to be some buried system option in control panel - or drivers

3 year old - awww bless - I like kids really ....
it's just I can never eat a whole one

Thanks AC but still no luck. I'm gonna see about the sound fixing website. Looks ok, so fingers crossed.

Cheers again and stop eating kids....goats are nicer..lol. :-)
