There area number of different reasons why your computer may no longer give sound. Ifyou have this problem, read on to learn how to diagnose the problem and resolveyour PC's loss of sound.

  1. Verify that the lack of sound is not due to faulty speaker connections. A simple way to test it is to substitute the speaker connection with headphones and see if you get any sound
  2. Open the volume control window by clicking your "Start" button and then "All Programs." Click "Accessories," then "Entertainment," then "Volume Control." Alternatively, just click on the speaker icon that's in your System Tray.

Delete and Reinstall the Original Sound Drivers
  1. Deleting and reinstalling your sound driver may resolve the problem. Your sound driver may have been corrupted or may be missing. The result of this is that the restore utility menu won't be available. For Windows XP, follow these steps.
  2. Click on your "Start" button. Click on "Control Panel" and then "System." Next, click on "Hardware," then "Device Manager, then "Sound, Video and Game Controllers."
  3. Click on a sound device named in the Device Manager, and then press the Delete key on the keyboard. Click "OK" in the window that appears. Remove all the listed sound devices i this way EXCEPT Audio Codec and Legacy Audio Drivers.
  4. Restart your computer. Reinstall the deleted drivers using the Driver and Application Recovery CDs that came with your Windows XP system.
  5. Visit your computer manufacturer's official website. Check for any updated sound driver software for your sound card. If any, download them along with the installation instructions.

Katy perry roar lyrics

"Roar"



I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything



You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready \'cause I\'ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now



[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

\'Cause I am a champion and you\'re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

\'Cause I am a champion and you\'re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'re gonna hear me roar



Now I\'m floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero



You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready \'cause I\'ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now



[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

\'Cause I am a champion and you\'re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

\'Cause I am a champion and you\'re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'ll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'re gonna hear me roar...



Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar



I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

\'Cause I am a champion and you\'re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

\'Cause I am a champion and you\'re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'ll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You\'re gonna hear me roar...

I can't hear sound/music from my IPod. I've tried plugging it in the iPod cable an USB cable. The screen shows that it's playing but I can't hear anything

Make sure your volume is turned up on your ipod and in the car make sure nothing else is playing. Also check your instruction book and if all fails take your car back to where you bought it from and explain what has happened also make sure it's properly pluged in!

I installed a software called Hear on my T420 laptop after a while i uninstalled it but since then i have problem with sound! when i play music i hear the sound from the speakers, it's normal but

Use the SYSTEM RESTORE utility to go back to a certain date that you think is in its perfect condition, say 2 to 5 days ago will do. Everything will be restored except data or work files. Good luck

My audio doesnt align with the video on playback

You mean it's not 'in sync.' (synchronisation) ?
Is it possible to establish whether sound is behind or in front of the image, meaning if for instance, someone clapped their hands together visually, do you hear the sound of the handclap just before you see them close? That's sound ahead.
If you see the hands come together then hear the handclap that's sound behind.
Tried a cleaner cassette?
Does it do it with one tape or any?

I hear echo sound every time i play music/movie and i cant figure out to turn it off "how"

Does it happen with headphones in as well? If not, do you have a built-in-microphone? Sometimes the sound coming of the speakers can be picked up by the microphone, resulting in an echo sound. Make sure that the microphone is off (or test it by covering it up while playing some music), and quit out of any applications that are using it.
If you hear it in the headphones as well, it could be a sound card problem, which means it would need replacing. If you don't hear it in the headphones, but hear it in the speakers and don't have a mic, it's either your speakers, or (more likely) your computer just doesn't get along with whatever software you're using to play movies/music.

I have no sound on my LG32LB9D

Hello
You haven't specified anything about the condition of picture. So I thinks there is no sound; picture OK; and posts this solution. Check out the speaker first. Just place your ear very near to the speaker side of your TV and switch the TV 'ON', by using its main power ON/OFF control [Not with remote control handset]. If you can hear a 'thumb' sound from the speakers the speaker is OK, and the sound output section inside the circuit board of your tV is faulty. Either sound card or audio output IC may be replaced. If you can't hear any 'thumb' sound when you switch ON your TV, the speaker is faulty. Replace the speaker with samee type and impedence. Its impedence will be marked on its magnet [in terms of Ohms]. OK.
