nojoy

tried allthe above advise and still no sound in my browser

 

Do you get sound with Internet Explorer?

 

sound

no i get no sound on any browser not in ie or crazy browser as well as firefox and all have been ok for years

 

If I understand correctly you get sound with a music player, but not from website. Try this troubleshooting from Microsoft

 

corect

yes thats correct,sound on videos music players just not a peep online from you tube to bbc news, nothing.. have done most of those fault finding things before as ive had this problem for ages now but on saying that cant find anything specific to my problem, i really dont want to format and start again as i have a lot of data that would take far too long to burn and i dont want to loose it

 

oh dear

i seem tohave found the answer on google,
my speakers were plugged into the wrong jack on back of pc

but hey thanx for all the help anyways

Whenever in doubt, don't format. Always look, first, at something which is elementary, but, often overlooked. However, doesn't the sound come out of the same speakers using the music players. I don't understand this one.

 

jack

I dont know but was reading on google and a guy said he had set his up as 5.1 and sound online only uses the front speakers so he was getting no sound, so i changed mine to stereo still no joy then i read a nother post and the guy had plugged into wrong point so i moved mine over 1 and now get sound online as well as with my players
