  • First problem with new puter

    :( Just noticed that my sound isnt working. The icon is missing from the program tray thing and when I looked at the program in control it says no devices are plugged in. The sound is integrated - that is, I dont have any external speakers. Gawd knows what Ive done as it was certainly making noises earlier today :o

    On the bottom right of your screen is your start up folder, mine is located there.

      Cant see it Pat? I can see a sort of loud speaker but it has a cross next to it. If I click on it, it says no audio devices are installed. If I look at system devices it says Realtek is intalled and working ok ????????:(

        Ive been googling and it appears its a known problem following Vista upgrades from MS. Ill ring Dell tomorrow and let them talk me through it. What a pain.

          For what its worth Heather I have found Realtek a right pain in rear ;;;
          if I use it on msn it takes sound away from windows and carnt play cd's etc have also had to remove my voipcheap as that wouldnt work with it ;;

            Have you carried out a windows update today after you had sound
            on your PC ?

            Only asking as I remember this happend to my PC, which uses Realtek.
            I had installed Windows Update, and found I had no sound :(
            Found out this was a known problem and downloaded a fix from Microsofts website.

              Hi Clare, yes thats what I thought was the problem. Ive updated on General, it seems I was the problem, I had thought Id bought a computer with built in speakers but apparently I hadnt! I rang Dell and they said I didnt have built in speakers and should have ordered some. I got a bit stroppy and they have kindly said they will send me speakers free of charge.

                  Big bad Dell :(

                  I'm glad they are sending you free speakers.
