Windows sounds is not playing. What can I do?

Only the start plays sound, but nothing else. When I go to sound and press Test, they still not sound. I have an Acer Aspire 4540.

Hello

Looks like another driver interferes with the driver of his system. Go to control panel | Device Manager; When the Device Manager opens go to the sound, video and game controllers and open that.

Is there more than one list of audio driver? Is there present yellow triangles? First of all, the problem with the yellow triangles (right click, then left click on properties) and see what information is there. Resolve all that is the problem.

If there is more than one sound driver, disable the second (third, fourth, no matter) driver sound. Note, turn it off, do not try to uninstall, it will only reinstall on your next startup.

After you have disabled the 'extra' audio drivers, restart your computer and repeat the test.

Let me know how you fare.

    Hello

    Since you are using 8 Windows RTM you must check with the support
    appropriate for the source where you downloaded it. Either a
    Channel OEM, TechNet or MSDN. If you use the publishing company that
    support is done by TechNet or MSDN.

    The Microsoft Community is not yet support RTM of Windows 8 and will not
    be up to the official public release October 26, 2012. And even then the product
    Button would have to come to the source used to get the software.

    Thank you.

    There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

  • Satellite L665D - sound is not played smoothly - crackling sound

    Dear readers,

    I am the owner of a toshiba l665D and there is a problem.
    Whenever I have to use something to involving
    sound looks like garbage.
    The sound is not played smoothly there are breaks, and there's a big cracking
    sometimes sound in it.

    It's not because of the speakers, I also tright through the headphone output tube.
    Pourrait this possilybe because of a card of its damaged.

    It's sound really garbage and the laptop is not yet 2 years old yet.

    What could be?

    Hello

    I think that this is unrelated to its faulty card but due to the old driver TSRI (Intel Rapid Storage Technology).

    I found a thread on the issue very similar.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=60231

    Update TSRI (Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver) to the version V10.1.0.1008 or later to resolve this issue.

  • Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

    Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

    Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

    On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

    The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

    Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

    Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

    If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.
    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

    It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

    Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

    If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
