When i click on my scound icon it dont LOAD the sound controls. it dose nothingHow about the info on the computer, sound card, operating system and if the sound device is recognized in Device Manager?well last time i checked i had a sound card. And it was working before,so it cant be that i need a sound card. and every WINDOW soltion do not work. I can understand it not working but why is everytime i clkick to volume controls program it doesnt load?tis happened to my brother he couldnt open his paint but there was an  error message. with this ONE nothing happens. everytime i go on window medi player all the song titles go red. An it has an error message that either there is no sound device. and it need to be installed.or it not working properly.my pc palys videos just fine but without sound.i just found out that i have no sound driver installed. And i  dont know the name of the sound card. B/c it not listed under system info. so maybe the sound card is old or broken. but it was working fine a week ago.Basic SOUNDCARDS are dirt cheap these days (try eBay).  Replacing the soundcard will probably fix the problem.
