No sound on laptop

[Zeal]

Start > Control Panel > Device Manager> Sound, Video, Game Controllers.
Check to see if there is a Yellow Triangle next to one of your sound devices (it should be labeled as RealTek or some other goofy name).

If you do see it, double click on the device that does and a pop-up will appear.

On that pop-up you will see a tab named Driver. On the driver screen there will be a button for Updating the driver. Click on it and let the computer try to find a new driver for the device.

If there is no yellow triangle, try it anyway. If the previous owner wiped that thing down, you might need to go to the website and get the audio drivers from the company's website and manually install it.

Spence - Chekced, nothing is muted.

Zeal - Ran the update and it says the one I have is current. Might end up giving the computer to the wife to have her IT guy see what he can do for me.
