No Sound!

[sara_fm]

My hard disk was getting way too full so I decided to uninstall programs that I didn't need any more... turns out I may have uninstalled something I wasn't supposed to because now I have no sound. I ran dxdiag and under "Sound" all the catagories (Name, Device ID, etc.) are empty and under "Notes" it says:

"No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer."

Do you know what happened and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks

go to device manager and check the sound devices there. If there isnt any sound devices installed, run the add hardware wizard, it should do a search for any non plug and play compatible hardware. should find the sound card and prompt you to install the drivers for it.

But I don't have the drivers, I don't think :s

Would it be in a CD that came with the computer/card?

Cause I can't find any.

The drivers could be on the cd but if not dose the company have a support center online because if is not on the cd you may be able to down lod the driver

motherboard name?

I can't remember getting a CD and can't find any. I don't the name of the sound card manufacterer. I tried opening my computer to see if it would say the name but didn't find anything (but then again, I don't know what I was looking for). And I don't my motherboard name either :s

Any ideas?

install everest(google it). look for the sound card name

I got Everest Home Edition and went to "Multimedia"

Under "Windows Audio" there was nothing (the thing on the right just went grey). With "PCI/PnP Audio", it says "SiS 7012 Audio Device".

Also, my motherboard name is ASRock P4S61.

Hello,

Try this SiS 7012 driver:

If that doesn't work try downloading and installing the audio driver for the ASRock P4S61 motherboard listed at the manufacturer's website:
