Sound not working windows xp professional


















If multiple audio output devices are available, check that you have the appropriate one selected. Here's how:. Select the Speakers icon on the taskbar. Next, select the arrow to open a list of audio devices connected to your computer. Check that your audio is playing to the audio device you prefer, such as a speaker or headphones.

In the search box on the taskbar, type audio troubleshooter , select Fix and find problems with playing sound from the results, then select Next.

Select the device you want to troubleshoot and then continue through the troubleshooter. You can also launch the troubleshooter from audio Settings. Check your speaker and headphone connections for loose cords or cables. Make sure all cords and cables are plugged in. If you have multiple 5mm jacks to plug into, especially on a surround sound system, make sure all cords and cables are plugged into the correct jack. Note : Some systems use a green jack for output and pink for mic input and others will be labeled "headphone" or "microphone.

It's possible that your speakers won't work when your headphones are plugged in. Unplug your headphones and see if that helps. Right-click the Speakers icon on the taskbar, and then select Open Volume mixer. Make sure none of them are muted. In that case, select the volume control to unmute. Check your device properties to make sure that your devices have not been disabled by mistake.

Select your audio device, and then select Device properties. Be sure to select Device properties for both the output and input devices. Make sure the Disable check box is cleared for the output and input devices. Hardware problems can be caused by outdated or malfunctioning drivers.

Make sure your audio driver is up to date and update it if needed. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the audio driver it will reinstall automatically. If that doesn't work, try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows. If you're having audio issues after installing updates, try rolling back your audio driver. In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager , then select it from the results.

Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, such as headphones or speakers, select Update driver , then select Search automatically for updated driver software. Yes No. Sorry this didn't help.

Thanks for your feedback. I have gone to web to download the driver. Triple checked that it was to correct driver even tried going to the original driver that was supplied with motherboards CD all yield same result sound not working and Windows has "!

The correct version will be downloaded and installed automatically. Or, you can click the Update Drivers button at the bottom to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out-of-date on your system. If you cannot find the right driver for your device, you can request the driver. We will find it for you. Or, try the automatic option instead. It is software which finds, downloads and istalls the correct driver for you - automatically. You may be able to find compatible drivers that will work with this hardware.

Please re-post with the hardware ID of your Realtek speakers and I will diligently follow up with you! Although I accept your point, it seems that my point is still valid. Namely that I only need one computer for internetbanking, the computer that I have rolled back is not suitable for Windows 7 or above and I would prefer not to have a plethora of operating systems.

Simply because I upgrade my system every four years and I do not like throwing away something that is in good working order. Buying another Windows license is expensive and not really necessary. Using an old PC as a file server is in my opinion a useful way of using "old" hardware.

And the fact that the sound is not working is not really a problem but I like things to be in good working order, the reason why I turned to HP in the last place. The fact that this is an issue that has been known for a long time gives me the idea that some sort of solution or work around must be available. Simply stating that I should discard my old HP and buy a new one, with a new operating system is not acceptable for the above reasons. And if that solution is no longer available, tough on me.

Obviously there is only one way. And that is forward. But it proves an old adage: " Not all change is for the better". Didn't find what you were looking for?
