Hi
Is it say virtual memory low?

No,it doesn't say anything.I have sigmatel onboard sound

This might occur if the speakers are plugged into the wrong port on the computer. There are sometimes two ports that send sound out. One is for speakers, and the other is an unamplified output for other devices. Plugging into the wrong port on a Sound Blaster gave me (I think) very faint sound.

No ,it's not like that .I have checked thoroughly ,previosly I was using this port only so no question of wrong port.I guess there is some other prob..

Double click on speaker next to clock
-make sure that the Wave slider bar is up as well as the Volume slider bar

Everything is at max level... I don't think there is setting prob.. may be some other prob..

Everything is at max but is there a column for Wave?

Control panel, sound and audio devices
-speaker volume
-max those out and Apply

Now click Advanced and make sure you have speakers set to Desktop Stereo Speakers and apply

Now check sound again

I followed instructions given by you but with no result .I have done these kinds of checking before but cluess what else can I do now.
Would be great to hear from you .
Karan

but is there a column for Wave?
What does it mean?which wave?

When you double clicked on the speaker and the items come up, is there a volume column there that says Wave
-should have a Master volume and Wave volume

You I do have wave volume and I have put it to max but the same result... still volume is low.

Did you make sure that you have speakers set to Desktop Stereo Speakers in adv. Settings mentioned on first page?

Yes I have done that !I don't thing there is problem in settings because I have checked almost all viable possibilities of volume settings.

What sound device is listed in device mgr for sound?

What driver did you install for it?

This is the settings of sound drivers in device mangers and I copy here in the same order.
Sound ,video and game controller
Audio codecs
Legecy audio drivers
Legacy video capture devices
Media control devices
Sigmatel High Definition Audio codec
Video codec

I have Intel G965 mother board and I have got drivers cd as well so I install drivers from the Intel mother board sound driver cd.
Any more information needed ,always welcome...

Back to settings real quick
Control panel, sound audio devices
-click options then properties

Make sure you have the correct Mixer Device listed there

Again I did bt with no result buddy..

Try the latest driver

In device mgr, right click on the sigmatel and choose uninstall and when that is uninstalled, try installing latest version below

SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC 6.10.0.5609
SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com (http://download.cnet.com/SigmaTel-High-Definition-Audio-CODEC/3000-2110_4-173629.html)

How did I uninstall sigmatel..

Computer--Mange-Device managersound device-sigma tel-right click on sigma tel and uninstalled---
Now I am not able to see sigmatell so how can I install new sigmatel from here??

I tried second measure :
Contol panel--sound --Hardware --sigmatell-properites -Driver -uninstal

I saved new sigmatell on destop and tried to run it from there it says ,"This driver is not proper for this system". Did I do correctly ?is it right way to do ?

1.how can I uninstall sound driver completely because all the time I update on the previos one's.
Write to me in bit detail---
Thanks a lot for your support
Karan

You can delete the file you downloaded

This is the proper driver for the model Intel G965 mother board

Download and run the exe file you download

Intel drivers download (http://intel.driversdown.com/ViewDownloadUrl.asp?ID=94822&brNum=3&show=0)

Check sound, if same problem, reinstall the one that you already have that you installed twice before as you mentioned in your first question

It seems your online ,I am online too.it would be great if we solve prob in one short..

I have downloaded this particular intel IDT but with no success again.can we try smth else?

Other than installing the one you were installing in the beginning, don't know what else it could be other than settings somewhere

You can download and use 3rd party software to increase sound and sound quality

Here is one I personally use
Download SRS Audio Sandbox 1.9.0.4 Free Trial - senzational enhancement software for your PC audio system - Softpedia (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Plugins/SRS-Audio-Sandbox.shtml)

Here is another one for windows media player
Volume Logic for Windows Media Player v1.31 for Windows 2000/XP (http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/VolumeLogicWinWMP/)

Both work extremely well

I tried SRS audio sand box ,sorry to say this also didn't solve my problem.. suggest me some other way as well.
Thanks a lot!
Karan

Don't know other than settings on this one, sound does work and no errors in device mgr so the driver is working. For me personally when this happens it is the Wave volume that is down or the speakers are not set to desktop stereo speakers - can only suggest at this point to check settings again and also look for another icon in control panel that is not Sound and Audio devices that would be connected with the sigmatel sound configuration and see if you can find some sort of 3rd party software to enhance sound

So really don't know on this on

for another icon in control panel that is not Sound and Audio devices that would be connected with the sigmatel sound configuration
I am nt able to find any icon regarding sound except sound and audio devices .can you tell me how to find icon which needs to be connected with sigmatel?since when I have installed IDT I am nt able to see sigmatel ,so from whr qs come to connect any icon with sigmatel in case if I have to connect I would connect with IDT.wat's your opnion about this .
Since 2 month s my sound system is low , try some other method to resolve this problem if you can.

I am not familiar with sigmatel, some sound cards have other icons in control panel for more settings - if you do not see one then I doubt there is one as just a basic sound device for your system

Maybe look for something labeled (SPDIF)

Also make sure speakers are plugged into speaker out and not line in or mic (double check where speakers plugged into)

Audio to back panel is muted if front panel is connected
Check your audio mixer software for a setting that mutes back panel audio if you have plugged headphones into a front panel audio solution. Uncheck this setting to allow audio to both the back and front.


Try muting the mic

Other than everything else tried to this point, would be trial and error
