No sound since

[Den]

I reinstalled Windows and I can't figure out why? HELP

[Glenn]

Turn the volume up.

Is there any driver missing in the control panel?

Have you installed the manufacturers drivers or relied on MS drivers?

Did you install the chipset drivers?

Is the sound card onboard or a separate card ?

[Steve]

As Glenn said back to basics. I suspect you'll find something missing somewhere along the diagnostic route.

[Den]

The driver is missing for IDT High definition Audio Codec and the one that windows wants to install fails. Where is safe to down load a fresh one from?

[Steve]

32 or 64 bit Den?

I can't verify the link on my iPad

Post #2 being the relevant one.

Among others Intel installed these codec chips on their desktop boards.

Do you have an Intel board Den?

[Den]

Spot on, it is a Intel Board.

Sorry I've not been back to this thread Den.

I fixed a strange issue with an onboard sound chip for a customer yesterday by opening the device's properties in Device Manager, clicking Disable, clicking OK and then going back in and enabling it again.

Seems that caused Windows to redetect the hardware and reinstall the driver.
