"there are no active mixer devices available. to install mixer devices, go to control panel, click printers and other hardware, and then click add hardware"
That's the message I get when trying to access 'volume comtrol' as there is no sound being played, I thought it was on mute, but NO. I did as instructed above, but I haven't got a clue what I should be installing
any ideas/help/tips anyone please?
A little info. Am on new dell lappy, O/H reformatted it, and he did back up all the drivers before hand, installed winXP that dell sent and the SP2 too, but there doesn't seem to be any sound now apart from the computer bleeping when there is a system message!
Thanks

The only thing that seems odd to me is that there is a yello question mark next to "PCI Device" has that got something to do with sound???I can say whatever I like here ...

If you don't ask, you don't find out!0 -
I would Uninstall the Drivers then Re-boot and Re-Install, that should sort you out:beer: Keep your Chin up.. it can only get better :beer: I'm one of those people who was born to have money, but I just don't have any!0

your O/H should've done the job properly
another vote for missing Dell device drivers. Plug the TAG into www.support.dell.com and away you go
In the United Kingdom 200,000 people are bitten by dogs every year and some people will die as a result. Of those bitten, 70% are children... So the question has to be asked....... Has the time come to ban children?0
