I removed the soundmax program in error and found I could get no sound from my pc speakers or headphones.
I restored to a previous point with system restore but still no sound.
Device Manager shows a yellow ! by Soundmax Integrated Digital Audio and the message : Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).

Where do I get this from? I've no idea what Soundmax is or where it originated from.

Edit: I found it on one of my manufacturers (Dell) discs problem solved.

    Click on update driver in the properties and allow it to download from the internet, see if it can find any.

    I tried that earlier but wasn't given the internet option. (?)

    Anyway I found a Dell disc in the end which has solved my problem. Cheers

    No sound through my speakers , I can only listen through my headphones (Logitech system).
    SoundMAX was uninstalled at some point.How can I reinstall it.
    I don't have any discs for my computer.
    Thanks.
