video card help for pc duffer

[London Calling]

we have seemed to have deleted our video card or to put it another way we no longer hear any sounds from the PC, which has advantages for Ms Lc as she watches her endless streams of porn!

WE have ms office etc, I cannot seek to relocate a special disc for "video card"?

Is there something really simple we can do.

At best we only want sound for our music collection, broadcasts and groaning

LC and its nice and sunny today and at last in LOndon we have wind.

Go to a system restore point. Search "System Restore" from the start menu, then choose a point from a time before the problem arose. If your hardware is not broken, this will sort it. If after this it still doesn't work, then I am afraid that your sound/video card may be broke. Hope that helps.

You can cycle back through them, until you find one that works.

Is it your video card or sound card that is broken? You say video card, but it is the sound that is not working? I presume the monitor is working fine?

If using System Restore doesn't work, on the start menu select control panel, then device manager. There should be an entry on there called "Sound, video and game controllers" which is responsible for the sound. Assuming that you don't have a specialist graphics card, it will probably say something about a codec. Right click on this, select 'update driver software' and then 'search automatically for updated driver software' and see if it finds anything.

Restore only went to may and didn't work!


Just sound isn't working.

when putting a cd in wondows media comes up with

"there is no audio hardware available or it cannot be found"

Try going to device manager again, then right-click on the top entry (which is basically the whole of your pc) and select 'scan for hardware changes'. If you have managed to uninstall the hardware this should (hopefully) detect it. Was there anything at all under the 'sound, video and game controllers' entry on device manager?

Other than that it may just be that your soundcard is buggered. How old is the pc? Do you know what make/model it is?

Always try the simple things first. Check to make sure that the sound card has not become disconnected (turn off the computer first).

Perhaps A Simple Question Would This Audio Card BE ON The Office Software And If Yes?


Is It A Good Idea To Reload The Disc?

in parallel with my mp3 thread, would the lack of sound (card) prevent downloading music to mp3
