Sound No longer works on computer after following instructions here

Under add/remove programs there was just one that looked anything like the description provided. It was Realteck AC'97 Audio. There was no problem removing or reinstalling it. Sadly still deafening silence. The parts of the Belarc Advisor Report that you asked about are: Multimedia Realtek AC'97 Audio Other devices VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller USB Human Interface Device (2x) Canon MP610 ser HID Keyboard Device HID-compliant mouse USB Composite Device USB Mass Storage Device USB Printing Support USB Root Hub (4x) Thanks Andrew

Hi Andrewho,

Did you previously download the Realtek Driver per Abydos instructions?
at:
http://download.cnet.com/Realtek-AC-97-Dri…4-10238712.html

Please consider installing it at this time.

Let us know the result.

Best Regards

Sorry.
Looks like you already did.

What Brand/Model of computer do you have?

Where we are going with identifying the Brand/Model of your machine is that the machine manufacturer will have a set of basic drivers for Chipset, video, audio, USB and possibly a few others. It may help resolve this problem if you download and install the: Chipset Driver audio/multimedia driver Let us know what you find. Best Regards

Thanks Doug, As far as the brand goes the badge is Anitech, but I think that is just the name of the local computer store here. Belarc gives the following information Processor: 2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 8 kilobyte primary memory cache 512 kilobyte secondary memory cache Not hyper-threaded Main Circuit Board Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. 8GE800P 1.x Bus Clock: 133 megahertz BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. F2 04/24/2003 It is a desktop Memory Modules 1536 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory Slot 'A0' has 1024 MB Slot 'A1' has 512 MB Is there anything else I could tell you that might help? Andrew

Consider this version of Audio Driver from the MotherBoard manufacturer site:

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherb…?ProductID=1623

Just the Realteck AC97 Driver - version 5.10.00.6160

Let's leave the Chipset Driver alone at least for the time being.

If you still get that error upon installing the new driver, please download Driversweeper from here;

Driversweeper

Use the guide on the 3DGuru page to remove only your RealTek AC97 drivers.
Then try install again.
