I have no sound on my computer.

No sound my my computer?

• What's happened my computer won't play any sound; it just suddenly stopped yesterday night, and was working compltely fine before. There's not reason for it to have stopped, and I don't download any dubious stuff. It's NOT the sound being muted, and it's not me accidentally turning the sound to zero; I've tried turning it up, watching videos on youtube, no sound, twiddling with the volume a bit, trying again, and alas, no change. i tried Windows Media Player, which plays no sound, and through my headphones for both sound from the internet and sound from WMP; both produced nothing on both the computer's normal speakers and the headphones. (I know the headphones AND the computer's inbuilt speakers both work because I tried the 'StickyKeys' thing where you press shift 5 times and it makes a noise and it made a noise, and my headphones work fine with my iPod so it's something with the computer). some ppl are telling me sound cards, what are they where are they?

• Answer:

  Computers are tricky so it can be one of a number of things. 1) Check your connections. I've had my subwoofer/speakers disconnect without me knowing and reconnecting works. Makes me feel dumb everytime! 2) See if your sound card is loose 3) Update your drivers 4) You can always try buying new speakers and seeing if they work. Or borrow speakers from another system and plug it in. 5) Your ports might be dead for whatever reason? I'd recommend trying to update the drivers. 6) Check volume settings to make sure nothing is muted. As for the shift 5 times thing, I dont think thats the speakers, that sound comes directly off the motherboard. (I dont know how, but mine does it too :P)
