Hello everyone.

Yesterday i was doing a windows update on a bunch of stuff, i checked the history, everything installed correctly, but now my sound wont work. Ive checked everything, the connection, the driver, volume settings, troubleshooting doesnt help either. I remember right in the middle of the update windows restarted, and it said it had recovered from a serious error. After that i had finished the update, and now my sound doesnt work through my speakers or my headphones and two separate jacks, connections, or w/e theyre called.

Please help, video feels crippled without sound.

    Hi Blitzkrieg047

    Couple of ?'s -
    Which version of windows are you using
    Is your soundcard on the motherboard or in a pci slot
    Do you know the make of soundcard that you have
    and finally do you have the drivers for the soundcard on a cd/dvd

    Windows XP, service pack 2
    Edit: PCI slot 3
    SB Audigy Audio [E800] ... i think?
    Not sure, i have the system restore discs, could they be on there?

    I'd say look up sound card manufactures's website for the drivers for this sound card.

    Not uncommon. This same troubleshooting step can be applied to ANY PCI add-on device. There's a reason we refer to it as winblows.
