Problems with sound

super_samus56 · June 28th, 2009

I recently reformatted my hard drive and ever since then I've been having serious sound problems. Before I reformatted I never had any problems but now whenever I load up a game the game plays but I don't get any sound at all. On top of that it cuts off sound on my entire PC and I have to reboot or do a system restore to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

update your sound drivers.

My sound drivers are up to date.

The latest drivers from your soundcard's website or the latest drivers from Windows Update?

BTW - What OS are you using?

I have a Sigmatel HD Audio sound card and I have to get my drivers from the Dell website and I have. I've also fully updated my computer through Windows Updates.

These are my PC specs:

256MB ATI Radeon graphics card
1GB Ram
Pentium 4 Processor at 3.0Ghz

What emulator and sound plugin are you using? Have you tried changing either of those?

I've tried out ePSXe emulator and at first I was using the standard sound plug-in that came with it but I looked around and installed the Eternal sound plug-in that was version 1.5 beta 2 I believe. I've also tried the PSX 1.13 emulator and the sound also cuts out while using it. Maybe it's an emulator thing? But I wasn't having any trouble like this until I reformatted.

Well it seems I have solved my own problem. Turns out the 360 controller I was using as my controller during gameplay is a faulty one. When I plug it in, my computer sees it not only as a controller but also as a 360 headset so the sound was trying to play out of the controller and not my speakers :P. But all is well since I have another controller I can use.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.
