    No Sound On Laptop

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD Laptop. Reformatted the HD and re-installed Win 98. Download & installed drivers. However, I can't get any sound from the computer. Went into device manager and every thing checked out ok. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Might try deleting the soundcard and modem from device manager. shut the system down. hook modem card up (not the line out) and let the system pick them up again or point the drivers at specified drive. mach

    Sounds are often difficult to troubleshoot as soo many things could keep them from working...How I do it is make certain speakers and powersupply for them are pluged in properly and turned on and voulum set first.. Then if the sound driver is installed correctly at bootup you might hear a pop noise in the system speakers as system boots up.. And in the control panel or devise manager make sure the driver is infact installed for the devise by viewing the driver details ..Then in control panel click on the sounds icon and see if system sounds will work if the play button is greyed out you may need to remove and reinstall the sound driver then reboot system and recheck here again...

    Helped out a co-worker this morning with the same problem on his Toshiba laptop. If your model takes the Yamaha OPL 3 sound drivers, you can go HERE for the sound setup program. Remove the sound device listed out of Device Manager and reboot. If Windows tries to pick it up again at boot-up, cancel the action, then run the setup program.

    Hi Mach, Will try what you suggested, but I was wondering, just for my sake, why and what do the modem have to do with sound. I'm asking because I do seem to have a problem with my modem also. Is there a connection between the two?
