Audio On Windows Xp

[samtam]

I have lost the audio on my Windows XP. In it's place I have Realtek HD, but I want to get back the original audio, so that I cam listen to normal podcasts etc. Help please!

[katom]

same problem. cant figure how it lost...

everything is in place..no mute nothing wrong..(but of course something is wrong as I lost the voice.. ).

In Contol Panel go to Sounds and Audio. Check speaker volume and in the Audio tab check all the volume settings.

Actually, all I have now is Realtek, which gives an echo sound. How can I switch it to normal audio??

If you previously had another sound driver installed, that worked

to your satisfaction, windows probably has a backup copy of it.

Enter device manager=>Sound Video & Game controllers

Rightclick the sound driver and choose "Properties".

Under "Driver tab" choose "Roll back driver".

Thanks for your suggestion Sabajja. I don't see a "sound driver" in the device manager, (although I do have "sound video & game controllers")

It wont say "sound driver", it will say Realtek if that's the driver you're using now.

Try rolling back that one if you had a previous one.

If that doesn't work,

find the Install CD to your mainboard, you should find the original sound drivers on there.

Alternatively you could use Xp's system restore, and restore your computer to a date before this problem appeared.

hi I have also this problem .

I made "roll back" and its not helping..

in the configerations everything looks ok but I really cant hear.

I have changed the headphones but its not abour that..

Cant understand why.. I afraid its my "realtek" audio card "kaput",.,,

When did it stop? Did you install anything new? Hardware or software? Try reinstalling Realtek. Link can be found here.

I have Realtek HD but using Vista so not sure everything would be the same. I can open in control panel and adjust settings. Under advanced settings is an option to turn off other output when you plug in headphone (and I use that) but perhaps others would not want that. There is a selection under speakers/sound effects which will probably get rid of the echo effect.
