Computer wasn't responding after downloading malicious software (I know, dumb move on my part). Everything was froze up so I was advised to do a clean re-install, which I did. The only problem I've seemed to run across so far is no sound. I thought I had got all my drivers and such but apparantly i'm missing something. Under device manager>Sound, video and game controllers everything looks fine and when I click on properties of everything it says its working properly. Here is the list I got under sound, video and game controllers.

Audio codecs
C-Media AC97 Audio Device
CxAcap, WDM Audio capture
CxTuner, philips WDM Tv tuner
CxxBar, WDM Crossbar
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media control devices
MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device
Standard Game port
Video codecs

I was never sent a disk labeled drivers with this computer, everything was pre-loaded. All my volume controls and such have been checked and nothing is muted. I get no system sounds or sounds from internet, nothing. As this was the first time I did a re-install I'm not sure if theres something I'm missing or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That link didn't help me much, still no sound. I was reading in another post about devices sharing IRQ's and my sound device (C-Media AC97 Audio Device) is sharing IRQ 18 with a video capture device ( CxVcap.WDM Video Capture) could this be the problem and if so what do I do about it :confused:

Well I found a stray pair of head phones and plugged in and they work, unplugged speakers from back of computer and plugged into front into head phone jack and they work, so it has to do with back not working. I guess I have a sound card and onboard sound devices, I guess I can just leave speakers plugges into headphone jack :D
