Solve : Help with speakers? |
|
Answer» Recently ive been having trouble with sound on XP. My system is dual boot (Ubuntu and XP). The sound works in Linux but not in XP. Usually i have to restart when the sound doesnt work in XP and then go back into XP for it to work. I have an Audigy 2Z S sound card, but i dont think its a hardware problem because sound works in Linux. My speakers are the dell ones.

Does "go back into" mean restart or what?Quote from: soybean on April 12, 2007, 07:17:18 AM Quote from: mastermonil on April 12, 2007, 06:50:28 AMI think he means switching back into xp mode.In other words, restart and select Win XP as the OS? Right?yes thats wat i meant. srry wasnt clear. I had to log off XP, restart my COMPUTER, and then choose XP as the OS to boot into. But ive been running dual boot for a while now and this problem just came up yesterday.So your problem is your sound works in Linux but not XP, right?Recently ive been having trouble with sound on XP.

Does "go back into" mean restart or what? If that's the case, try the following in XP: Go to Control Panel (classic view) Open Sounds and Audio Devices Go to the Audio tab make sure it is set to the right DEVICE (in the first drop down menu)ya its alrdy set to the right device. And the speakers still don't work?Which BOOTLOADER are you using ? ? That may be the culprit here... To find out boot into XP and re-install the XP sound drivers... UPON re-boot you MUST go back into XP for the driver installation to finalise ...if not it will not work properly. |
