I have an old windows laptop, media noise does not. What can I do?

So, I do not know what that is my laptop. I think it is a Windows XP Professional-2CPU 1, because that's what it says on the bottom. It's an IBM, if that helps.

I realize that whenever he plays the usual sounds, be it the his error or the sounds of the normal laptop, they are clear or not my headphones are in. However, when I play a video file or music online or in my library, although the set of songs and videos, there is no sound. Even if the headphones are out of the socket.
I looked to the top of many tutorials, but they are all recent windows computers.
Help, please.
Thank you!

I clicked on multimedia, and then click on Sound Device and nothing showed up. Then I clicked on CD Rom and it shows up

  • Windows media player does not how can I fix it?

    Its that freezes the computer upward if wrong, I have to turn off manually it says its does not what could make?

    Hello

    It may be interesting to try to reset the Windows Media Player as follows.

    Click on the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off", open media features and uncheck the box Windows Media Player.  Click Yes and then click OK, and then restart the laptop.

    When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off", open check Windows Media Player and media features.  Click Yes, then OK and when WMP is finished installing, restart the laptop.

    Then, perform the following procedure to force Windows Media Player to rebuild the library database.

    A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

    Make sure that Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center are closed.

    Launch free Commander, double-click users, double-click on 'your username', double-click local settings, double-click Application Data, double-click Microsoft and double-click Media Player.  Delete all files with the extension .wmdb - do not delete all the files.

    Close the free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now start to rebuild the library database which can take some time.

    Kind regards

  • After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

    I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
    I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

    E:\ application not found

    So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

    IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

    So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

    Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

    SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

    I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

    I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

    @ brooon:
    While the suggestion of man will not help you directly (you have Home Premium, have no GPEdit), you can always check the registry keys that are affected by the policies mentioned.
    (GPEdit is a nice interface to various registry settings, anyway.)

    Take a look at the following keys:

    HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCenter\MediaCenter

    HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCenter\MediaCenter

    A 0 = MC ValueData can work; 1 = MC is disabled.

    Standard WARNING: improper modification of the Windows registry can have consequences and can prevent your system become unbootable (possibly requiring a reinstallation of the operating system.)  Be careful!!!

    Don't change anything here yet.  It just open regedit and take a look at these two keys.  If they are there, after the ValueData displayed.  If they aren't there, after that they aren't there.

  • Media Center does not open on Windows 8.

    Recently built a new PC with Win 8 64-bit Pro and Media Center add-on bought.  However, whenever I click on the WMC icon, nothing happens. I installed a bunch of software on my machine, and some of it was a bit old stuff that I had to run in compatibility mode + install other updates (from / seller directly) to work to win 8. I have no doubt that if some of the older things may have pushed something - it seems, remind one of them wanting to install a .NET framework or something - but I don't know how to solve problems.

    I tried to turn the checkboxes of the WMC feature and restart but that did not help. I tried to start the PC in safe mode to see if that would help solve the problems, but he did not. My ideas on how to solve the problems and if there is anything I can do in addition to trying the Windows 8 update (ugh). Any ideas to help me? The update would be worth trying? I really don't want to spend a whole day trying to track this one down and a lot of software that I'm not sure that the uninstall is the culprit or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
