Issue with the sound on my computer

Hello.

The problem I am experiencing today is in the system tray, when I try clicking on the sound icon that looks like a speaker it will no longer open. But when it was opening I would push the slider up to raise the sound but it would fall all the way back to the bottom.

I have attemped to go to Control Panel and when I click on "Adjust System Volume" I don't get any window coming up.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

If I can provide any additional information to better assist me, please let me know.

Thanks!

 

Hi Bob,

This happen after using earphones or head-jacks?

Any visible problems upon opening control panel > devices > portable devices?

How about event viewer, any relative errors there?

Work your way through this article, perhaps you've overlooked something.

PS Bob - Please include your pc's make and model.

 

Steve,

I always use headphones with a mic attached.

When I go to control panel and then click on Sound there is 3 options. When I click on "Adjust system volume" nothing happens.

Its a Gateway and the model number is GM5626.

Thanks,
Robert

 

Provided the part number's correct, reloading the driver's my bet - http://support.gateway.com/support/...=Sigmatel HD Audio DriverVersion: 6.10.0.5274
