RobSheffield Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 My sound for my pc suddenly died yesterday, coincidentally (or not) while talking to a friend on msn, whose sound had also suddenly died. Anyone know of any sound killing viruses out there? I have checked all the things i think i could check, but none seem to be wrong, i started the PC in safe mode, and it was still dead. The only issue that i found was a 'code 12' on the device (MPU401 device on C-Media CM8738 Audio) Id be tempted to accept that maybe my sound card has given up, but for the fact that the other persons had done the same over msn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renar Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Try removing it from device manager and then restart and let windows "rediscover" it. See if that helps. I have not heard of such a virus. Even if there was one, i don't think it would kill your sound at the same time, but then again this really is a weird coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dini_the_owl Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 hi mate mpu401 is definately the sound chip,if you pm me your email i could post some drivers off which should work,if youve taken them out of device manager and restarted pc it should work,if not try new drivers. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
