Sound does not work... why... How to fix?

every now and then my computer loses sound, why? It is very random and very annoying.  I tried everything computers suggest Help Center and nothing, I still get a message that all is working properly... NO, IT's NOT, otherwise I would have sound.  I have no idea of what I've done in the past to get it back... I have try all kinds of things and never now if they work or if it's just returns its own.  Please HELP I need her to do their homework!

Hi katbar,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 when was the last time it was working fine?

3. when the computer loses its sound?

That would happen generally if on the computer sound card drivers are corrupted or must be updated.

I suggest that you manually download and install the updated drivers for the soundcard on the computer by visiting the manufacturer of the computer or sound card manufacturer's Web site and check if that helps.

  • my master password does not work, WHY?

    I used my master password for quite awhile. Today when I put it in it does not work. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I saw the the way to remove it, but then I lose about 28 login and password for all my financial sites. Why the P/W does not work? AND why would you if it can FAIL. Y at - it another way around this in addition to a total deletion of all my other passwords. I tried to restart my computer a couple of times to see if it would fix itself, but nothing helped.

    Have you tried to close and restart Firefox or restart the computer to see if it have an impact?

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    If the MP password does not work and is not accepted if you get a prompt to connect to the software security device, then it is likely that the signons3.txt file got damaged or replaced by an older version.

    You have a backup of files in the Firefox profile folder?

  • browser.download.useToolkitUI true on the subject: config for aging download Panel does NOT work. How can I get that back?

    Firefox 26:
    The fix turn browser.download.useToolkitUI true subject: config does not work. How can I get rid of the crap from the library and retrieve my download Panel?

    The downloads window went into Firefox 26. The preference of browser.download.usetoolkitui has been removed. If you still see in Subject: config, it is because you have already customized its value. Right-click and choose reset; It will be gone the next time you start Firefox.

    I believe that the plan was still in the window replacement of downloads with the downloads Panel and the library category. Given that its code had not been maintained, he had several questions, such as incompatibility with private per-window.

    If you have any suggestions to improve the downloads Panel or the library category, you can drop highlighting bug reports.
