CF-29 no sound

Hi all, I have a CF-29CSKGZDM which I had to reinstall windows xp. I had to reinstall all the drivers to which everyone worked great except the sound driver. I had sound before but don't have any now. I would really like some insight to this problem so I can get my sound back. Thanks.

WHAT?

Sorry but I had to.
Another member had a no sound issue and the only way he solved it was to use an authentic Panasonic recovery disc.

While I am known as a big advocate of using the Panasonic CF-29 Product Recovery CF-ROM set and doing a complete factory configuration restoration, since he stated he only had a sound problem, the best thing is to direct him to the correct drivers and Installation Instructions , and if that doesn't work, suggest the "Restore Factory Drive Image" route [IMHO ].

 

You can try instaling the driver manually... If it doesn't work... You may have a blown speaker.

 

Okay so this did not work. I mean it installed it and is showing that there is sound but it still does not work. I even tried to use headphones but no luck. Any ideas or do I have to buy the CD?

 

Is there some reason that you felt the need to correct me??????????????

I simply provided him with more information on possible solutions. You already directed him to the correct drivers. I gave him plan B on the chance he may need it.
Criticizing my post is totally unnecessary and what makes you think that your opinion is the best one????????

 

We really do appreciate all you gurus. any and all suggestions are always welcome on this website. been there done that....Driller, already whacked out with the misplaced focus of this sales season.
