When something goes wrong with
the sound in our computer,we want it fixed,and fixed now.Whether its our
favorite game we are playing,or that new multimedia application we just
installed,we simply
must have
our sound.
When performing any troubleshooting
procedure, always perform the basic procedures before you remove that
device.Its good to look at your sound card and become familar with its
location,the type
of slot it is inserted into or if it is motherboard
integrated.
Carefully take note of any
cable,connections on or near the sound card.Sound
Card audio loss is no fun when you are so used to multimedia sound
blasting out of those super woofers.
Follow these procedures as
a guideline to correcting sound
card woes.Be sure to consult the sound card or computer manual for actual
repair procedures.
First...you
check to see if the speckers have
power.Don't take this for granted.It does
happen that the speakers have no power
or the volume
was turned down.
Second..Check
to audio cables that connect
the speakers to the computer.Check to be
sure these cables are secure and that the
audio connector at the rear of the system unit
is inserted into the right connector.These
connections are color coded on new cards.
Third...
Check the possibility that your speakers may be on
the blink.Although the speakers very
rarely fail,it is a possibility that should not be
overlooked.
Fourth...Before
replacing the system unit cover,
check and double check to see if the card is
fully inserted into the PCI Slot.Its a possibility
the card may have crepted out of the slot if it
was not properly secured to the case.
Fifth...After
replacing the system unit cover,
reconnecting all peripherals,and turning on the
computer,check the Windows system folder
to see if there are problems with the device
drivers which are small software used to allow
the sound card to communicate to the computer.
After you have performed these
procedures and the sound card is not working at all,remove the card from
the computer and try inserting in another system.As a last resort,you
maybe able to save the purchase of another card,when there was no need.
As with all components
in your computer,don't delay too long in learning to identify every
component.Go ahead,remove that system unit cover and study the inside
of your computer.
