My computer sound/speakers don't work!?

Question

i turn my computer on and the sound doesn't work.. The speakers are plugged in..it doesn't even show up on that little side menu next to the time (volume control not showing up)! I looked on the control panel, and it doesn't show that i even have a sound device!/ help me please

By the way. Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio mixer has a yellow exclamation mark next to it..and when i try to fix it, it won't let me trouble shoot.

He is most likely going to send you a downloadable file. When you get it and download it, you'll probably have to restart your computer. Worked like a charm for me.
Thanks again Steve...life is nothing without music. lol

Your audio driver is messed up.
Depending on the soundboard you have, you can download the realtek audio driver from the website.
