Can't get sound......

[Sandy8]

Hi

Hoping someone would be able to help me with this - probably easy to fix but I'm baffled.

I can't get sound from my speakers, they worked fine with old set-up.

Got this system (Ultima Warlord) from OC a few weeks ago:

- AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz Overclocked to 3.80GHz!
- Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
- Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600C9DHX
- Gelid Silent Spirit CPU Cooler CPU Cooler
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
- LG CH08LS10 8x Blu-Ray Reader/16x DVD±RW - Black
- Coolermaster Elite 335 Case - Black

Speakers are Creative Inspire T10. Screen is a NEC Multisync LCD 2690Wuxi. I've had both for over a year.

When I received the system I added 4 Hard Drives - 2 x 500Gb and 2 x 320Gb, one of the 320Gb drives has my OS (XP Pro) on it. I also added a fan.

Anyway, loaded and unloaded drivers several times but couldn't get any sound at all.

PC used mainly for processing Photos so sound isn't overly important but starting to miss it now.

I'd really appreciate anyone's help.


Overall - everything else is running fine apart from Adobe Bridge constantly crashing the system but I'll try and post that elsewhere on the forum.

did you do a fresh install of xp?

simply plugging a drive in with it on already is a bad idea, and generally won't work.

for a system like that, you'll want Windows 7 on it ideally

Hi Bledd

No, I didn't do a fresh install.

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing an upgrade to windows 7, hopefully in the near future.
