Sound on my computer is not working properly?

by Drivers Utilities on March 16, 2010

I use a windows xp computer and my dad installed sound drivers to it but it didn’t work so he intalled this thing called “advance” or something like that and the sounds and speakers are set to full blast and it’s not loud it is so quiet you can barely hear it. Can anyone help me?

I also had an automatic thing run to update drivers and it says it is good as can be.

Make sure your Sound Driver isn’t disabled; it may have inadvertently disabled itself during shutdown:
Go to Device Manager (Start> RightClick My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager) and right click on your sound driver and choose enable. If not, try updating the driver, which will effectively restore it to factory settings if there’s an update available.

If you don’t know the name of you Sound Driver, so to Start> Run> dxdiag. Now go to the Sound Tab and any sound hardware installed is listed.

If that still doesn’t work, the driver may have been uninstalled. If so, go to your computer’s manufacturer’s website and go to the “Support” section. There should be a link for drivers. You will need to know your computer’s model, but once you enter that it will give you an option to download any missing drivers. Just find the Sound Driver and install it.

Hope that helps =]
