No sound in Windows 7

[techtata]

Hi,I am using Windows 7 Home Basic 64+ bit OS, but despite installing all the necessary motheboard - Gigabyte G41MT-S2 drivers there is no sound from the system. I can't hear any music playing online or off line, please help me. Can I post screenshots on this thread? Thanks.

right click the volume icon in task bar and click devices, check which device is active- it should be speakers usually

I think u've installed 32 bit realtek audio driver instead of 64 bit. Check with it.

no one was abusing you or anything 😀

Did you download this from gigabyte website?

hmmmmm....windows 7 64 bit doesn't allow a 32 bit software to get installed...true or false?

 

[Bobbyguitarist]

Windows 7 will run most 32-bit applications just fine. If you do have some programs that give you trouble, though, XP Mode is indeed a good approach to solving that problem.
Also the software i highlighted in my screenshot is 64 bit software.

I have downloaded the drivers from Gigabyte site only and tried both versions ie 32+ and 64+ for Win 7, but still I can't hear any sound. Please guide me. With your help I am sure that I can resolve this issue. Thanks.

Could be a bad sound chip. The same thing happened to me around two years back. The PSU went kaput and when I replaced the PSU, there was no sound. The drivers were installed, device was showing properly in 'Device Manager' etc, but no sound. I had to get my mainboard RMAed.

have u installed the video driver?? if yes..uninstall the video driver and audio diver ..restart the pc and then once again install the realtek audio driver first.. later u can install the video driver.try this..it worked for me this way on my Asus m/b
