    First you may want to check that the drivers for the sound card have installed properly ie there are no "?" in the device manager.
    Then check that the volume is turned up in the audio control panel. I know that sounds stupid, but I have often wondered why my sound wasnt working and for some reason the volume was all the way down for one of the parameters.
    Also maybe check if headphones work, ie is the problem with the speakers or with audio in general.

    Underpantman finally posts!

    5 posts since October! Must of been busy!

    Regarding the issue, it could be some silly mistake, or a driver problem. The silly mistake is usually my problem :p

    Make sure that FN+F10 makes sound turn on, or FN+F12 to turn it up

    Dont worry im still here, checkin the forum everyday...the lack of posts is more a reflextion on how well the forum is running, Im just not needed much, been puting my two cents in where I can but am more than happy to let other have a go for a change. Just glad that everyone seems to be getting along well.

    Nice to hear from you again, Underpantman :D

    I agree with what has been suggested... there are MANY volume controls on a computer; check to make sure none of them are turned down and/or muted.

    Hey there Underpantman! :)

    As for the sound issue, I'd try doing a Windows Update - or, you could try the new "Microsoft Update" - it does your whole computer, works pretty good, I am using it. I did an update, and it found new sound drivers for me, so I installed those, and they work great ;)
