Why there is no sound on pc?

Question

I changed a motherboard to my pc and now i can't hear anything from my speakers, Im sure everything is connected good and i even downloaded a new driver but still nothing..

any help please

Answer 1

I presume you changed it with the same model ?

I would look in the device manager

Control panel > System

and see if the driver is OK.Then goto the motherboard manufaturers site and download a newer version if it is not working. There might be of an update for the newer revision board. If the driver is OK, then check the conections, make sure the mute is not on etc.

Use a pair of headphones to ensure correct diagnosis for no sound.

Answer 2

Make sure your Sound Driver isn't disabled, it may have inadvertently disabled itself during shutdown:

Go to Device Manager (Start> RightClick My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager) and right click on your sound driver and choose enable. If not, try updating the driver, that will effectively restore it to factory settings if there's an update available.

If you don't know the name of you Sound Driver, so to Start> Run> dxdiag. Now go to the Sound Tab and any sound hardware installed is listed.

If that still doesn't work, the driver may have been uninstalled. If so, go to your computer's manufacturer's website and go to the "Support" section. There should be a link for drivers. You will need to know your computer's model, but once you enter that it will give you and option to download any missing drivers. Just find the Sound Driver and install it.

Hope that helps =]

Answer 3

Well, it depends. Does your Motherboard have basic 2 speaker audio or Surround Sound? If it is surround you might have the speakers plugged into the wrong outlet. You could also have hit the mute button.

Go to the Start menu.

Go to Settings.

Go to Control Panel.

Go to System.

Go to Hardware.

Go to Device Manager.

This will show you a list of Hardware installed in your computer and if there are any conflicts you will see them there.

Good Luck.
