Can a laptop's sound drive be fixed?

Question

The sound drive on my laptop is fried and I want to know if it would be cheaper to fix it or should I just buy a new one? Any thoughts would be great!

Answer 1

A "sledge" hammer works WONDERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

What you meant by sound drive ?

Answer 3

go to a computer store and ask

(if you live in chattanooga there is a computer store called infinti it is very good)

Answer 4

you could try changing the sound card and if that doesn't work u could take it back to the store u bought it from or any computer store that looks at computers of the brndname  

Answer 5

Have you actually tried diagnosing the problem, or have you simply lost sound and immediately come to the conclusion that your sound 'drive' (otherwise known as a sound CARD) is faulty? I find it hard to believe that a card would 'fry', because they generally dont get particularly hot.

Answer 6

Go to settings/control panel/system/device manager

and delete the sound device and shut down.  Reboot

and you should get the message "new device found" see

if windows can install it from the windows files.

If it is not there you will have to eownload the driver and install it manually.
