isn't it funny how they do that? just up and decides that its not gonna play sound. of course, im clueless about how to get it to work. so i cant work on music, and probably have to take it BACK in (which is nice considering i just got it back a week ago) and have some dude turn a screw or something and get charged 50 bucks for it. RGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh so i guess my ep is on hold again, unless it decides to work of its own free will. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GAH UGH BLAGGAFLABBAFLANKINDANGTANKER!!!!! ok, i feel calm |

ok, im gonna go strangle the cat in an offering to my soundcard to behave. maybe its just one puny life it needs this time, but next time.... maybe the dog. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehm, which soundcard do you have? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
shake it a little, maybe throw it to wall a little...that always works are you using microsoft progs btw? eu court decided they have to pay about 500 mil euros for some penaltys...hope this makes you feel a bit better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

im putting a computer together for my sister...it took me a week to find out what was wrong with hd, cuz the bios wouldn't recognize it...so instead of spending half hour on it, it took me like 5 hours...at least it's working now so im HAPPY i hope it works out for you as well! |

as long as you don't even know what kind of soundcard you have exactly, there isn't a lot that can be done.. |

i just dont get how it could just not work one morning when i turn the cpu on, especially since it had JUST worked the night before and no one had used it since i had. doesnt make sense to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"doesnt make sense to me" ha hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's only normal, so i wouldn't worry too much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe i just dont get it. it seems like theres absolutely no reason i can think of for a computer to work ok, you turn it off, then turn it back on and now theres some drastic new issue. it just escapes me. its so unreliable. |

welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft Windows :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

is that what it is you think? i thought xp was supposed to be this wonderous new thign that solves all the issues. this really makes me wish i was a better guitar player or something. i hate relying on this stuff. |

Sometimes computers get very very sick. :-( Check that your cables aren't unplugged or plugged in wrong or chewed through by rodents. Check that the volume isn't muted. Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Open up the computer and see if the card is seated properly in its slot. Sometimes if you pull it out and push it back in, it works. Failing that, try installing the card in another computer and see if it works there, then you'll know if it's a hardware problem. |

well, the whole thing is that windows wouldnt run. so it gave me options. i picked "run last configured thingy" but it told me it couldnt locate the necessary .dll or something. the option to pick the soundcard wasnt even in the sound control panel. |
||||||||
|
|

Oh, and if you have powered speakers and they're unplugged but still turned on, that is bad. Either set the power button to off and use them passive, or make sure the power adapter is plugged in. Does Windows bitch at you when you boot, that something failed to load? Have you checked in the device manager to see if the sound card is disabled or summat? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, I see, you've hosed your profile. Go into the device manager, uninstall the sound card if it's there, then reboot and it should detect the hardware and prompt you for the driver disk. Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm running Win2K at home. |
||||||||

|

hosed my profile? |
||||||||
|
|

|

never ever believe Microsoft and what they say about their operating systems lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it tells me the driver may be corrupt or missing stupid gateway, i dont even know if i have a driver disc for it ok no, i found it. thanks dude, ill see if this works. *crosses fingers* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe im starting to realise this slowly ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if it doesn't, it can only be mechanical problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, your hardware profile. Windows can have different hardware profiles so you can load it with different hardware configurations... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you fleet! the soundcard is installed and aparently working fine now if i can just get the speakers to work, im on my way to sound again. hehehee i might just have to call gateway though, cuz i been all through the sounds setup in the control panel, and i dont see jack that helkps me set these speakers up (had an mp3 playing on repeat the whole time, not a peep) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you get sound if you plug in headphones? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have any headphones hehehehehe my luck, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You have the volume muted. Or the speakers are plugged into a jar of vicks vapo-rub. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the whole set up is plugged in and everythign fine, trust me. the sound card is working, but no sound. i had this problem once before, and i remember them saying that it wasnt default set up to recognise digital speakers or something. i just dont know what they did or how to correct this myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and btw, thanks again... i really appreciate this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha i called gateway, and guess what it was? i had to unplug the power to the speakers and re-plug them in. weird. i really wouldnt have thought that would do anythign, but it dsid. thanks to everyone who gave me advice, especially fleetmouse! |

When in doubt, do something so obvious it could never work. It's like a monster rings your doorbell - you close the door and open it again to get rid of him. |

i like how people love PCs and hate macs i also like how something like sound is basically an add-on for PCs "it's irony, on the base level, but i like it" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sound is basically an addon for macs too, it's an addon for all processing architectures |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't need a soundcard to listen to sounds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funny and true. thanks again man, i prolly wouldve freaked out harder than i did if you didnt come along. danke |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, sound is NOT an add on for Mac's Mac's have been capable of sound since day one |
