If anyone can help, I appreciate it!!
I'm getting no sound at all from my custom-built desktop PC. The speakers are not muted, I've updated the Realtek driver, motherboard driver, and performed all Windows updates. I get nothing, not even the OS startup sound.
The sound was working before I took it to a technician to replace my CPU and memory. At that time, he'd uninstalled Driver Detective (which had been popping up some audio driver incompatibility error, but the sound was still working) prior to new hardware install. He wants to wipe my Windows 7 OS and reinstall, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Sound properties state:
Realtek HDMI Output
ATI HDMI Audio
Not plugged in
Speakers are set as default
Realtek Digital Output shows as Ready
Realtek Digital Output (Optical) shows as Ready.
Anything I can try?? Thanks in advance!
