Ive had my computer for about a month a before now its had sound perfectly. but yesterday the sound suddenly stopped working i cant work out how to fix it as im not very good at computers. help is needed thanks

did you mute it? Take a look at your Control Panel\System and Maintenance\Windows Update. click on the update history, see what was recently installed. Some people have had problems with sound after updates have been installed.

Also take a look at your sound in the control panel, Control Panel\Hardware and Sound, and click on adjust sound. Does it have a green check mark saying working under the speaker/headphone section.

the last update was installed about a week before the sound went so i doubt it was that, and everything has mute turned off so i should have sound is it worth using system restore to a point before the sound stopped working?

yes there is a tick there and the bar to the right of it is going up and diwn cos i have music playing, but i cant hear it or anything :-S

did you blow out your speakers? take a look at this and mess around with enabling some of the hidden devices, Audio Device - Enable Hidden Devices. IDK if it worth the restore that would be your call.

ive tried out multiple speakers and no luck, not even headphones. i think i will use system restore as it doesnt remove personal files or anything

okay tell us how it goes
