-- Posted by Wassup at 9:18 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 After I opened a Real Player file the sound does not work on my computer. I'm not sure if that file had to do with anything, but I do know it worked fine before I opened it. Is there anything I can do? -- Posted by espresso8097 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Find new sound drivers for your computer.  Install the old ones if they are still there.  And then install the new ones. -- Posted by angelh16 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 my only suggestion is to restart your computer, and if it still doesn't work reboot -- Posted by Wassup at 9:20 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from espresso8097 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Find new sound drivers for your computer.  Install the old ones if they are still there.  And then install the new ones. That can't be the only way to get it working again. I would rather not start installing new things and stuff. Any other way? -- Posted by 4est at 9:22 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from angelh16 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 my only suggestion is to restart your computer, and if it still doesn't work reboot restart=reboot -- Posted by espresso8097 at 9:23 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from Wassup at 11:20 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from espresso8097 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Find new sound drivers for your computer.  Install the old ones if they are still there.  And then install the new ones.

Go through the Hardware Manager and check to see what problems it is having if they show up.  Then search for issue details and maybe post them here. If it is a dedicated card pull it out and back in to make sure there is a decent connection.   And always make sure the problem isn't that a cable on the inside of PC is undone or that speaker cable is in or not torn. -- Posted by angelh16 at 9:23 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from 4est at 9:22 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from angelh16 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 my only suggestion is to restart your computer, and if it still doesn't work reboot restart=reboot lol. yeah i just realized that. my bad. well restart it anyway -- Posted by Wassup at 9:27 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from angelh16 at 9:23 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from 4est at 9:22 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from angelh16 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 my only suggestion is to restart your computer, and if it still doesn't work reboot restart=reboot lol. yeah i just realized that. my bad. well restart it anyway Been there, done that. -- Posted by Wassup at 9:29 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from espresso8097 at 9:23 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from Wassup at 11:20 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from espresso8097 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Find new sound drivers for your computer.  Install the old ones if they are still there.  And then install the new ones.    That can't be the only way to get it working again.

I have a stupid question. Where is the hardware manager? I have a Windows XP if that helps. -- Posted by angelh16 at 9:29 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 make sure all of the plugs are secure, make sure it's not on mute, ask one of your parents for help? idk. good luck -- Posted by espresso8097 at 9:31 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from Wassup at 11:29 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from espresso8097 at 9:23 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from Wassup at 11:20 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Quote: from espresso8097 at 9:19 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Find new sound drivers for your computer.  Install the old ones if they are still there.  And then install the new ones.     That can't be the only way to get it working again.

I hope it is close to Win2k, I think it is near identical for this: Right Click My Computer-->Properties-->Hardware-->Device Manager -- Posted by Wassup at 9:38 pm on Feb. 24, 2007 Got it! Thanks!
