Win 7 No Sound/ over Vista

title says it all..

Not Solved!!! Absolutly no sound ..........help

Have to disagree, title tells us your problem but not your situation.

Are you saying you just upgraded from Vista to 7 ? 32 or 64 bit? was it a clean "custom" install or simply an upgrade over-top the existing Vista?

What motherboard do you have (or sound card if it is not on the motherboard)?

Did you check the wiring? Didn't accidentally plug it in the wrong slot? Once I had the powerswitch turned off and I couldn't hear a thing - surprise surprise!

If you go to device manager (under control panel) and check the sound items listed - see if it says they are working properly. If not, make sure you are connected to the internet and click update driver and pick connect to the internet for best driver.

TrainableMan is entirely correct in disagreeing with you.

The title says nothing. NOTHING!

I've installed W7 many times and the sound has never worked. It is a simple thing to update drivers and we might help you there IF we new something, ANYTHING about your hardware.

Umm... Where have you installed it then? 'cause it should get driver updates automatically from Windows Update. (even pirated versions do)

I know nothing of pirated versions.

Admittedly in older hardware.

An older P-4 with Realtek chip. Installed Beta, RC, an upgrade over Vista ( which sucked} and a clean install with the upgrade disk.

A Celeron single core with Realtek chip. Installed Beta, RC and retail. (twice).

In addition W7 didn't have the drivers for my network device on either machine.

My point for the OP was not enough info for us as TM pointed out.

The title doesn't tell us doodley squat! If you're not willing to actually describe the exact nature of the problem and how the install was done, then well my friend, don't come whining to us if we can't solve it for you!
