No sound at all

[divus4x]

Hello,

got a new PC and everything is working fine so far - except sound. My speakers are plugged in and work fine with other devices, but my computer does not recognize them. When I right click on the audio icon I can select the playback device. Four of them show up: Nvidia HDMI Output (Port 0) ... up to (Port 3). They are all greyed out and tell me there is no device plugged in. There are no other devices listed (such as standard or default or whatever - only the four HDMI). I reinstalled my Nvidia driver and the graphics works fine... but no sound at all. How can I install a simple standard audio device? Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
Matt

First we/you need to know what device you are trying to use? if you are useing HDMI cable to monitor and are not getting sound out of the monitor OR are you using the 3.5mm plug plugged directly to the motherboard?

If you are using the 3.5mm plug you will need to go to the Motherboard makers web site and download the audio driver from them. <-- this is what i am guessing is your issue as the Nvidia sound options are grayed out.
