No Sound

[greeny9461]

When I load up my game there is no sound. I've checked all the settings and the sound should be on. When I check sound Mixer it's not even there! I know this isn't related but Dolby Home Theatre has sound problems as well. Perhaps the two problems are linked. I've just updated to Windows 8.1 and had my laptop scanned for viruses. There was one but it was safely contained and removed. And responses are appreciated.

greeny, have up re-installed the sound drivers after the windows install?

I'm not great at computers so no, I haven't; but i don't know how to install them or where to download them from. Could you provide a link?

the sound drivers are usually on the motherboard driver disc, unless you have a seperate sound card shich has a driver disc for itself., and there is another method which is to download and use a program from iobit(www.iobit.com) called driver booster
