I think i have deleted my speakersSolved/Closed

Question

Hello,
the other day I was messing around on my laptop ( a dell inspiron 6400, on vista ) trying to install a new headset I had brought, after the installation had finished I went onto sound ( through control panel ) to set the microphone sound levels higher,
when I went onto sound it came up with to devives , one being the headset the other being the speakers, now I dont know how but I think I may have deleted the speakers off my laptop whilst tryin to access the headset.
i now have a small red circle with a white 'x' in it, which to me does not make sence because on other forum it says that this is due to sound driver not working , but mine is working fully on the device manager ??

any help would be greatly appreciated

hi
i think I had the same problem. my speaker icon showed the little white cross in the red circle because I had accidently disabled my speakers. if u go into the playback settings and right click on the empty list u can check "show disabled devices" and the re-enable it straight from the list

hi,
this s due to the enw driver that you have installed.
try to search for the previous driver in the BIOS setup.
in case you don't find it,try this link to download the audio driver of your system:

let me know if it works or not.

thanks for your help , but still no look 
i have been on the bios an found no sound or speaker options.

the driver is okay though , the sound driver is still on the computer an still working , its just there is no sound output to play the sound through .

Hi Banner,

I think Jesse is right here - I think you are looking in the wrong place.

In Contol Panel double click on the "Sound" icon. This should bring you to the window that Jesse talks about when he right clicks on an empty bit of the window.
