All of a sudden I was listening the the radio on the net and my sound stopped working. I have nothing muted and everything is plugged in correctly. I have switched it between my headphones, my stereo, and my speakers.

So does anyone know what the prob is???
Also, I have built in sound on an AC97 codec.

Thx.

Try rebooting just for the heck of it?

I have tried it twice.

I forgot to add this in w/ the specs. I have the Via 4.42 4in1's.

1. Reboot

2. Check BIOS to make sure the onboard sound didn't get disabled somehow.

3. Try deleting the sound card from device manager, then re-detect & reinstall the drivers.

4. If you can't get it to work, consider getting a separate sound card - even a cheap one will outperform that onboard codec by a mile.

Well, I'll be dammed(would spell it the real way but the mods might not like it). After I reinstalled the drivers for it, it worked. Thx.

I wonder why it just stopped working.

Oh, and if I couldn't get the thing to work. I would call up HP and cuss them out about how crappy their computers are.

This thing is still under warranty.
