Hi kejin,

Just try to check the volume control. Go to control panel then sounds. Click on the sound volume set it to high. If you click the volume bar you will hear at a short sound. If you can not hear anything try to check your hardware go to desktop.

Right click my computer then device manager. Select the sounds try to check if the drivers are working properly or try to uninstall your hardware then restart your computer then install the sound driver. Be sure that the driver is working properly. Hope it will help.

Regards.

Hi Kejin,

I do experience this issue: I use to have an Acer aspire 4315 and configured it in XP and after configuring it to XP my sound is not working so I tried this one.

Paste the following link into your address bar:

And download and install:

Microsoft UAA (Universal Audio Architecture) Bus driver (Full Multi-language version).

And you can now ditch the VISTA.

You may need to update the sound card driver either from the manufacturer website or through the Device Manager on your computer. Open your Device Manager and search for the sound card driver. Right-click on its Properties and go to the Driver tab and click on Update Driver.
