hey guys i BELIVE my on bored sound card may be fried  or DRIVER miss match
i recently added a new hard drive to my pc . my head phones started crackling so i though it was the head phones tried my speaker i use down stairs still no sound updated my sound driver no sound (hd audio driver what was found for searched with windows update) then i downloaded the correct real take audio driver from my mother boards web site still no sound
 ive also attached screen shot from my device manager

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Try a re-install of the original Drivers from the MBoard driver CD...
New drivers are not always better drivers.i have tried that also my sound came back ealier then i launched tf2 then i lost my sound so now this is puzzzling me TF2 ? ?
 I hate some acronyms because i'm simply not a gamer...however this leads me to believe it is in the game SETTINGS itself...team fortress 2 and idont htink its  the game due to the game been the one of the lower spec things i run on my pc due to no sound when i boot the pc up
below are mys system's specs

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
Intel Celeron E3300 2.5ghz
4.00 GB Single-Channel DDR3
ASUSTeK  P5G41T-M LX
GeForce GT 430 1gb
700gb Seagate hdd sata
500 gb hitachi sata hdd
Specs are irrelevant if thats the game it happens in and the sound controls are possibly wonked...
Think about it.but its not just team fortress it happens in its most of my games or if im watching a film ... would a pci sound card solve this issueYes.well thats bazzar a windows update has actualy SOLVED this problem :O :O Quote from: blackrainbow on August 17, 2013, 11:08:36 AM
