Most all day Monday I listened to a You Tube playlist through pc speakers. Tuesday, no sound. I checked all settings in "Sounds & Audio Devices" on Control Panel. I un- and re-installed Adobe Flashplayer. No change. There's hiss-crackle in speakers so I know they are powered up. But no program audio. I did Skype audio test on headset--works find. I did test again with listen only of speakers--no program sound.

Don't know what to do next.

Check audio in control panel maybe it muted or turned off for applications but on for headset or speakers.

If you can't sort it out then maybe this link might help.

Korp khun na khrab, Barry. I did check to ensure mute boxes not checked. But, will check again.

I know it sounds (no pun intended) silly, but have you tried unplugging the audio leads and plugging them in again? (Dirt ... humidity ... loose connections?)

korp khun na khrab Mark. Not silly at all! I will try it.

Last night, I tried uninstall and reinstall of Real Tec drivers. I'm stuck, needing the RtkHDAud.sys file to complete the installation. If anyone has this file (it would be

located on your Realtek HD Audio Installation Disk, it could be emailed to me. My address

This may sound silly but the headphone jack is a mechanical connection that cuts off the speakers when you plug in the headphones(at least on my PC). This jack has contacts that must make/break and are subject to corrosion.

Is it possible this connection is not working when the headphones are removed?

Maybe try plugging/unplugging the headphones a few times to cause the jacks contacts to make/remake again

korp khun na khrab, Longball. Not silly at all! But, I cannot try it until I reinstall drivers, for which I need the RtkHDAud.sys file from Realtech HD Audio Installation Disk....that I don't have on hand. I'm hoping someone could email it to me, someone with the same audio system. I might have to go into the city to some computer shops looking for this Disk. My address is

Version of Motherboard / audio chip RealTek version would help some.

found this site: http://www.techpower...iver_v1.66.html and has other versions. (google RtkHDAud.sys you can probably find the whole install package).

Speakers might of shit themselves or your sound card is about to shit itself.

Thanks, appreciate your reply Rakman.

Well! I hope I can report back, WebBangkok, with...."no shit!"

K-Lite codec pack usually helps me...

The Realtek driver can be downloaded from www.realtek.com.tw

Choose HD drivers and operating system in their download area. They are pretty much universal.
