Guest Ruggy Bairn Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 HELP!!!! I've got a problem with the audio on my pc. Here is the problem: From time to time (becoming more and more often now) when I start my PC, the audio isn't working. I've checked the volume and drivers, and they're ok. If I try to play a sound, the player just hangs. Sometimes, when I reboot, it works straight away, sometimes it can take up to 20 or more re-boots before it comes on. It's driving me up the fekcin wall!! I've checked in BIOS and I don't have any on-board audio interfering. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

ALL HÚNS 'n' TIMS ARE SCUM Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Have you added a new piece of hardware to your PC? You could have conflict. Does the sound Hang on REAL and Windows Audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't added hardware for donkeys. Yes it hangs on both, even if I go into sounds in control panel, and play for example, the noise I have selected for new mail, that even hangs. Weird.

ALL HÚNS 'n' TIMS ARE SCUM Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I don't know what it could be. I never had any problems on my PC with the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Has your soundcard become dislodged from its PCI socket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ruggy Bairn Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Has your soundcard become dislodged from its PCI socket? I'll need to check that Winston, but I can get sound after re-booting a few times. It's a really weird one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I have had a problem similar a few times, Real Jukebox related normally. It plays but no sound but the track is showing it is being played. I keep the tune playing, go into System Diagnostics , run the sound check (while music is "playing")and the problem fixes itself for some reason.

Taz Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 My advice would be to ctr-alt-del and open task manager, when it happens again it can point you in the right direction and see what program is causing your PC to hang, either that re-ibstall the soundcard and drivers and get rid of Realplayer!

I have managed to fix this by moving the soundcard into a different slot. Unfortunately, my run of bad luck has continued, as I tried to change the email address for my real account on here, and the bloody validation email won't come through, hence I cannae f'kin log in! It also means I have lost my moderating powers until such times as I can get back into my real account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
