Technical help required - computer buffs

Please please please somebody help me before i rip my hair out.

I cant get sound to come through my speakers on my pc. I have just rebooted my system and reloaded everything. I keep geeting the following errors:

No ADI device.

There are no active mixer devices available. To instal mixers please go to the control panel, click printers and other hardware, and then click add hardware.

I have done everything that i have been asked to do and i cant seem to resolve the situation. Please please help

Thanks

What

has click printers gotta do with sound!!

 

xp sp2

 

Righ click my computer > properties, click the hardware tab and click device manager. Do you get any devices with a yellow question mark next to them?

 

try turning your volume up or take it off mute or get an earing aid he he

 

You seem to be a very unlucky bloke

You've always got problems!

If it's not computers it's punctures

 

yes i have question marks

Yes i have 3 yellow question marks next to the other devices drop down box. Ethernet and Multimedia Audio controller

 

then you need to install the drivers from the motherboards disk (assuming its on board sound)

if you have installed a super dooper sound card (ie plugged one into the mother board seperate) install the disk that came with that sound card.

be very carefull though running the motherboards disk, you don't want to mess with owt else.

If you aint got disk for you onboard sound with your motherboard, then you need to suss out what motherboard it is (and model) and then do a search on google for that brand and model motherboard with sound driver,

eg

???? motherboard drivers

once downloaded/installed, you will be sorted

thats about as much as I can give you without doing it for you


PS, the same goes for your ethernet controller

 

right click on the question mark and select update driver then follow the defaults....

if it wont install then you'll have to download the drivers, shouldn't be too difficult.

 

RE: I am a plonker

I have now sorted this guys. I hadnt installed the sound driver. Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhh (doh)
