Sound Gone??

I know it pretty crazy and I don't even know what have happened to me :oops:
Last night, when I done scanning the virus/registry scan and ready to turn off the PC, I tried to open another program files [notepad] to print out something and realized that there was no sound.
I meant the usual sound [Windows [default] sound] when you clicking on any program or folder files
I thought my PC be frozen so I restart first . The sound of Windows starting already lost?? even shutting down. I let the PC cool down for half an hour and open it again and nothing changes
I checked my BIOS system and there is sound enabled and nothing wrong with external hardware. I even checked on Device manager, there no red marks nor questions marks.
I seriously don't know what going on here. Would anyone having any idea what happening? Why my Windows suddenly gone away ? It worked just fine minute ago . I have updated my Windows regularly. Is that due to Software issues or Virus attacks?
My last resort is restore point but that not working either.
Any help is appreciated alot!
Thanks in advance

Usually i would update my drivers and use other means like calling Microsoft but i think this should help u...let me know how it goes....

Hi :wave:

What speakers are you using and do they work when connected to another device?

Is it just Window's default sound not working or all sound including mp3's etc?

Also (I'm sure you probably checked this already) but have you checked in sound device/properties in Control Panel and made sure sound levels are up and enabled?

I checked everything on the list and none applied to my issues
Thanks anyway

Dm.su, only Windows default sound missing, I able to play MP3 and movie files but somehow it not louder as usual even I turning the volume to max.??
Not so sure about what model is my speaker. It just old model I guess
and it connected directly to my sound hardware

Just a weird hunch...maybe somehow your windows sound scheme was switched off....

Check to see if you have windows sound system scheme turned on....

Control Panal --> Sounds & Audio Devices --> Sounds Tab
Also check the hardware tab to see if the audio devices are working properly.

the Sound Scheme is Windows Default - and as for other, is NO SOUND
Mine is Windows Default but the sound still not back??:oops:

Did you check the volume? Click the first button at Volume tab and see if "wave" and etc are right.

You meant the "speaker" icon right? I opened the tab of that icon
and the dialog of Master Volume, it seems everything there area on the way up to max.
The balance tab is in middle of everything including Master Volume, Wave, MIDI, AUX, CD Audio, Line In, and Microphone
The Mute volume is untouched and remains "disabled"

Very strange. Can you tell us the model of your sound card, I can try to find an updated driver, maybe it got corrupted, I had a problem like that and I had to install my drivers again.

sorry I kinda stupid and not good at PC. where can I find the model of sound card? I only knew that from NVIDIA built in along with my motherboard
thanks

To find the name of the sound device, press start, click run and type in dxdiag.

A dirextX diagnostic tool box should popup.

Go to sound and your sound device name should be there.

Here what I seen on the dialog box

Device
Name: NVIDIA(R)nForce(TM)Audio
Device ID: NFORCE_VAD
Manufacturer ID: 1
Product ID: 100
Type: WDM
Default Device : Yes

Drivers
Name: nvapu.sys
Version: 6.14.0431.0000(English)
Date: 3/2/2004 23:02:00
WHQL Logo'd :Yes
Other files:
Provider: NVIDIA Corporation

DirectX Features
Hardware Sound Acceleration Level: Full Acceleration

And, I have bad news . Not only Windows Default sounds gone, but also everything else . I can't hear anything from my speaker including MP3, Movies..
What should I do??:oops:

The only driver I found, for your audio device, on nvidia's website is this link here

Here's a guide about sound issues, with troubleshooting solutions etc

Hope that helps.

you can try playing music immediately when you start the computer, it helps for me because if I don't there's also no sound ;3

I have tried to update my audio device to the latest version but kept getting error message and still, the sound not back yet :oops:

What did the error message say?

Probably have to do a reinstall of the sound driver :-k
