i have a strange problem with my laptop. i have no sound on my computer, and if i click the volume button on the toolbar, i get the swirling mouse pointer, and it will say "volume mixer is not responding".another aspect of this problem is i cant load videos. say if i go to Internet, the homepage will load, but as soon as one of the advertisement videos start loading, the browser freezes and stops responding. (you may be wondering why i would watch videos with no sound, but actually this is usually how i notice this problem has started.)i have done a system restore a couple of times, and everything runs fine for a few days. but soon after, the problem will be back randomly when i boot my laptop up. i've tried running a virus scan and came up with 0 threats.
I bought a new computer tower last night it came with keyboard and mouse im using my old montor and speakers till i can afford new olds The speakers work but the sound is extremly low and i have it maxed out My old computer was about 5 years old, Do need powered speakers/
For some reason, all of a sudden, my sound has left my computer. I am not sure why but I think it began after a recent update. Down in the lower left hand corner the sound emblem now shows a red circle with a white X in the middle (meaning NO SOUND) The message I get when I run the mouse over the speaker is " No SPEAKERS OR HEADPHONES ARE PLUGGED IN". My son has tried reinstalling the driver for a new sound card. STILL NO SOUND
Sometimes, when I try to watch a video, the sound doesn't work, so I reload the page like five times. It only works once in a while. What's wrong with my computer and how can I fix this?

No matter what I try I cannot get sound from computer.
ive lost the sound to my headphones on my computer ive tryed using another pair of headphoes and they worked-ish i get no bass out of them...ive tryed uninstalling and reinstalling all my sound drivers that didnt help much...ive even reinstalled my OS and that did nothing?
i have an old computer running intel dq965gf mobo. recently, I upgraded it from windows vista 32bit to windows 7 64bit. i plugged the speakers in the right way, but the computer couldn't detect them. than i downloaded the driver for my mobo, and it showed like everything is working fine, but no sound came out. i've already tried different speakers and headphones. after searching on google i found that i may need SigmaTEL audio driver. so i downloaded it and tried to install after uninstalling the intel driver, but an error message came saying "device isn't present. restart your computer and try again. i restarted my pc and tried again, but the error message came again.
So my speakers decided to not work after I unplugged them and then plugged them back in. I have read countless forums and have: updated my graphics driver, checked to make sure it is plugged in correctly, and configured many settings. It is not a problem with the speakers because I have gone and bought new ones that do work with my super old toshiba. This has to be a problem with the P.C. that I cannot figure out. I was using old dell speakers before and am using bose speakers now. My headset will play sound if this helps. I am using an asus p9 x79 motherboard with a geforce 550 ti graphics card.
my computer speakers connected to my computer are no longer working.they are turned on to full volumn but there is no sound.checked connection.it is ok but can't get sound.
i am getting commercial ads over my computer speakers at random.. some are actually the ads from Internet, but i am not on there when these decide to start playing
am trying play music on Internet i am not able to hear anything and when i open windows media player it wont play put all the other sounds on my computer work properly.
I have a samsung npqx411w01 with i5 and 6gb, It also has NvidiaGeforce graphics with 1gb dedicated as I enjoy playing BF3. I have had this computer for about 6 months now, and its been great, but over time, despite antivirus/malware/disk cleanups. It just seems to be getting slower. I am at the point now where the audio sounds cracky, and even stutters, I cant play any games since there is a significant lag, as well as with streaming of any kind and Although I thought it may only be with the wifi, it is still limited with an Ethernet cable(the internet may be a separate problem). There was an incident nearly a month ago in which my system completely shut out. I couldn't open windows without safe mode or else I would get a windows error a few seconds after logging in. I was able to restore, but I feel things haven't been the same.
My PC has a problem where it starts to lag, the mouse moves slowly and sound is crackly but before i can do anything it crashes the I have to unplug it and start again. What is this? It is very annoying when im in the middle of something.
I would like to know if there is a way to play a sound when the computer is locked and/or unlocked, similar to the way a sound normally plays during log on/log off. There's no obvious way in the Sounds options window.
I got this problem with my new computer which is when i play games recently the screen turns black (sometimes dark blue and with stripes looking graphics all over the screen). This have been happening sometimes in a week or 2 and sometimes it doesn't turn black but just get like a freeze for a few seconds and then go back to normal.it's starting to scare me since my last computer which was a laptop had the same problem, but there was no saving it.This computer is just a few months old, it has good RAM, CPU and graphics card.
There's this high pitch sound coming from my computer. You can hear it if you're within like 6 or 7 feet. I think it's coming from the cooling fan. The weird thing I noticed is that the sound goes away if my ethernet cable is not plugged in.
So on Friday installed a new video card (7850) and this morning I had opened up the case as I have been experiencing some freezing with the new card (reason why I replaced the old card) however I have never had sound issues.I did the following prior to leaving today:Rebooted system a few times, had removed video card a few times, inserted monitor cable into the motherboard, booted that up, disabled the vga adapter, then rebooted and turned it on again (figured it might help with the freezing) I also pressed the reset button that is ON this motherboard (Asus P8z68-V Pro)So in any event long story short, When I came home today i didnt hear sound. I have tried just about everything, the Windows 7 seems to reflect sound is "fine" all the drivers are fine, I see the volume going up, I know the right speaker is "default" nothing is muted. I remove the speakers plug them into the other computer and they work fine. Also the head phones don't work in any slot either (i have several jacks on the computer for headphones)I am thinking during the reboot I have fried something on the MB preventing me from using the analog cables for sound. Should I try the HDMI on the video card to avoid having to replace the MB if this was the case? Windows 7 does not tell me anything is wrong with any hardware.I even updated the drivers for sound etc but remember this is a sudden issue, thats why I dont think its a "setting" problem.
