no sound

Hello I have no sound after reformat and reinstall of Win xp home sp3. Device manager is ok and I have reinstalled the audio driver. My connections are fine and the jack is in the like colored lime green port. Sound fine before reinstall. Please help

Hi GP, If you are sure you have the correct drivers installed then take a look in Control Panel> Sounds and Audio Devices and check out that you are not "muted" and that you do have a volume control in the notification area. Next check all the other entries to make sure your system has the correct devices installed and showing. Lastly the speakers, check that they are connected in the correct socket, its usually the green one ……but it might not be! Powered up? and volume adjusted? Regards paws

Grampy Pete, you have this same problem posted in at least 2 other forums (Dell Community and Major Geeks). Please pick one and stay with it. You are wasting a lot of peoples time on the same topic. Definitely not good forum etiquette.

I did not realize you should not go to various sources to resolve a problem - really. I try to be a polite person, I am a bit frazzled as I am having trouble with pain meds from my cancer surgeries. Although it is no excuse for rudeness I do apologize to all I have incomvenienced and troubled. It will not happen again.
