Solved: Speakers not working again!

dplasmus · 13-Jun-2009, 12:46 PM #1

I had a problem with my laptop speakers before and i solved it by updating the audio driver.
Well i have the same problem (they don't make noise and the volume control says that no device is attached)
It is a dell inspiron 6000

anyone have any ideas?

Have you checked in Device Manager under Sound, video, Audio

Have you tried installing the sound drivers again?

dplasmus · 13-Jun-2009, 01:18 PM #3

yes and yes
any other ideas?

could it be the sound card? because headphones won't work either

It's possible, do you have a seperate sound card or is it intergrated into the mobo?

dplasmus · 13-Jun-2009, 08:27 PM #6

it's built in to my laptop its the one it came with

So it is integrated, it's possible that it is that actual built in sound card that's causing you all this hassle, but your driver says everything is cool?

device manager says everything is working fine and reinstalled the driver
should I do a system restore to be sure that it is a hardware issue?

If you have a System Restore point to when the speakers where working the yes try that

Megabite · 14-Jun-2009, 11:11 AM **#11**

Why are you in Safe Mode but it should work in Safe Mode

Have you gone to Dell site and installed the Chipset drivers......

dplasmus · 14-Jun-2009, 12:01 PM **#14**

chipset drivers? why would that help?

Megabite · 14-Jun-2009, 12:05 PM **#15**

To see if you have the lastest Chipset drivers......the date the lastest drivers are.....I guess this is XP
