Getting sound back

Post by Samuel »

To free up room on my laptop I was deleting programs that I didn't use.

As the thread title indicates I believe one of them was responsible for the sound system. How do I get sound back?

Go to your vendor website, look up your laptop model, and download the sound business for it.

And then ask yourself what happened in your life to make you think deleting a 35 meg piece of software would help your space problems. :)

Perhaps you were just not paying that much attention and deleting lots of useless but small programs that you didn't know what they did in the first place wasn't that bad an idea, and in the daily rush you forgot that this only works if you know what programs you need and what you don't?

Oh, and Samuel: what laptop, what model, what OS? Without those, nobody can really help you even if they wanted to.

I already helped him, genius; if he goes to xyz vendor and says 'drivers for model abc' he'll get what he wants. It's not like it's a secret detective agency spy quest or anything.

Unless he bought a poorly supported brand, lol.

If you're operating Windows, you can go to Device Manager>Sound, Video, and Game Controllers>Audio Codecs, rightclick, properties, troubleshoot. The walkthrough there is fairly comprehensive.
