Trouble:
We have received certain problems from the users reporting that the audio is not working after they have installed / uninstalled certain devices.
For example: one of our readers installed wireless modem and after that the sound of the computer is not working.
Why sound stops working?
Most common reasons for this trouble are:
- Such kind of troubles arise after some device / software is installed which tries to gain control as default sound device.
- Also while un-installation of certain softwares, some shared files are removed. At times some important shared file can be deleted which causes troubles with working of sound drivers.
- While installing certain games, it tries to gain control of sound or video drivers and may accidentally harm these driver softwares.
Lets see the ways to fix such troubles.
Fix:
Step1 : First of all check what is your default audio device setting. For this, open Control Panel > Sounds and audio devices, open Audio tab as shown in picture below.
See that the Device selected is your sound-card or on-board audio device. It should not be blank or some modem device. Set the Default sound playback and sound recording device correctly from the drop down menu. If your device is not there in this list see the step 2.
Step2: If the step 1 is not successful, it means that your sound device driver software has become either corrupt or has been accidentally un-installed. In such case, install the sound driver from the sound-card/mother-board driver CD. You can also download the latest driver if you don’t have the driver CD. After you install the driver, restart your computer, and then check the settings as in step 1 again.
Trouble Fixed!
