I have absolutely no sound! I've got windows 2000, and the little yellow speaker icon that's supposed to be in the system tray in the bottom right hand corner, isn't there at all...I have no idea what kind of sound card I have, or who the manufacturer is. Can someone please, PLEASE help me with this problem?You need to go into device manager to see what sound card you have. In windows 2000 and xp you right click on my computer on the desktop, goto MANAGE and left click, then left Device manager. Microsoft Windows 95, 98, and ME users enter the Windows device manager by clicking Start, Settings, CONTROL Panel, System icon, and finally clicking the Device Manager tab.

Under Sound video and game controllers click the little left plus. The name of your card will be in there. Now is there any yellow question marks that you see in any of the lists. We need to KNOW this before anyone can go any further. And what is the name of the Sound card in that list.

What windows do you use and a few specs about your pc would be good like Motherboard.There are several things listed under the sound, video etc. list:
-Audio codecs
-Creative AWE64 Gold Wavetable MIDI (Awe32 compatible) (WDM) < not sure about this one b/c I think it was something my sister played around with or installed...there is also a yellow circle w/ black exclamation mark next to it
-Legacy Audio Drives
-Legacy Video capture devices
-Media control devices
-video codecs

and I am on Win 2000Ok you need to reinstall the driver go here and DOWNLOAD it. http://list.driverguide.com/list/company258/page10/

Make sure you select sound icon and download the right Windows version....> Windows 2000.If you get asked....

BTW, most xp drivers WORK on w2k.Hey guys,  I did what you said, and restarted the computer and all that, but there was still no yellow icon in the system tray or any sound. The windows troubleshooter suggested that I uninstall and reinstall the hardware, which I did...except now on the device manager it says that the sound card is "Sound Blaster 16 or AWE32 or compatible (WDM)" - not sure what to do now :-/ ...also on my device manager, there is a yellow questions mark next to "PCI simple communications controller" under "other devices" - maybe that could have something to do with the problem as well?Type dxdiag and test for sound........make sure your speakers/headphones are connected......via the jack plug at the tower/desktop/laptop.....and are on..via the switch/mains adapter..........
