No Sound On PC

It's not a hardware problem, as shown by dxdiag; you have no drivers for your sound card.

What happened with MSI Live Update?

erm, not wishing to sound patronising, are you sure that they device isnt muted and volumes are up? this would be my first port of call if looking at someone elses machine.

start menu->all programs->accessories->entertainment->volume control...

check that nothing is ticked for "muted" and the volumes arent set too zero.

Nothing happens when I go to volume control but tried 'Sound Recorder' and says no sound device installed.

So is that telling me that the engineer installed my motherboard with no sound card :mad:

I downloaded what it suggested and ran it, but to no avail

I found this link to an MSI 6340 Florida motherboard here.
On many motherboards you can diable/or enable onboard sound options in the bios settings. This can save an interrupt or two and get you out of a stupid conflict that used to happen in the old days. Often the sound device conflicted with the parallel port or the serial ports. Those were the days.

Maybe on-board (integrated) sound is disabled in the Bios. Check there.

I think i'll have to wait. It's one big mess, all I want is sound!!!!

How do I check my bios (sorry)

Toxteth_OGrady

Turn your computer off and then as soon as you turn the power on, repeatedly tap the 'Delete' key on your keyboard. It'll then take you into the CMOS (bios) menu.

I'll try post a screenshot.

Menu looks like this

Yuo should find onboard audio enable/disable under Integrated Peripherals.

Thanks

All is enabled already.

I think I'm gonna stop playing for now and wait for the engineer. I've waited over 2 weeks for a half working PC, i'll forgive the sound loss for now

Thanks for all the help

Try downloading the VIA sound drivers first.

There appears to be lots of variations on the MS6340

Normally just install and reboot.
