Solve : Sound suddenly stopped working?

Answer»

The sound on my computer system suddenly stopped working.  I cannot HEAR anything when I plug headphones directly into my CPU, so it is an internal problem.  I checked devise manager and sound programming but nothing is wrong.  EVERYTHING looks to be working.  Any suggestions.

I have Gateway Pentium IV, SOUNDBLASTER card, Windows XP, DSL.

I download a lot of sound and video off of the internet.  Usually play through Windows Media Player, but I recently downloaded MusicMatchBox system to CHECK it out.  It worked ok for the first few days.  I just have no idea why my sound would suddenly quit.  

Help is greatly appreciated.The CPU is an abbreviation for the Central Processing Unit. Soundcard or PC would be a better term.

I SUGGEST you:

  • Uninstall soundcard drivers
  • Either update or reinstall previous soundcard drivers.
  • Replace soundcard (If the two options described above fail)


You can also run a DX diagnostic.

(Windows XP)

Go to:

  • Start
  • Run
  • Type DXdiag
  • Go to the soundtab and the run the tests. See if any errors occur.
