I was going to actually post this in the ranting room however, I didn't really think that it would fit the specifications or more so it equally fits the specifications of this section. I wrote a thread in this section talking about how I cleaned out some of my files, well, as it turns out I deleted a file that was essential, I deleted Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, though, I could have sworn that the speakers still worked after I cleaned things out for a little while, and I didn't think about it whenever I did it, but then my speakers stopped working. I figured that I was going to be able to bring back the files but unfortunately, after hours of searching through reports and articles, and finding so many of which seemed like they would assist me it was to no avail. Everything that I tried, failed so I called it quits and decided to go the route that I knew would work so I did a rebooted everything to it's previous state bringing back the program, and everything back the way it should have been. So, whatever I could have possibly did had just done accidentally had been made irrelevant, anything that I could've deleted was now back so everything should work, right? No, you see that would make sense in a world of sanity, instead the speakers still don't work, and I've looked, yes, the speakers do work because I tried it on another computer, so it's something wrong with my computer. I've tried every plug-in possible, and the speakers still light-up showing that there is somewhat recognition to them, but the computer itself doesn't detect them. There was no obvious mistakes, I have everything checked, am I possibly missing something or are the speakers just being a .. jackass?



Oh, you don't have to give me tech support, you can just answer whether or not you've had an annoying malfunction with something. Perhaps a mangling virus, or a faulty keyboard?
 
Ahhh I've had problems like that. I've had my computer corrupt one of the starting files whilst implementing updates [sighs]
 
For those of you that are wondering, with the assistance of my older brother, we actually did manage to restore my speakers, it turns out that the audio driver was corrupt and thus, we needed to download it again from the eMachine website.
 
Happy to hear you got it all sorted out!

My speakers' sound changed at some point (it suddenly made stuff sound as if it was drowning), got the drivers updated and it worked.

My mouse wheel stopped working at some point... never bothered to fix that. It works now because I recently reinstalled everything.

So you went digging through all sorts of articles, but none of those suggested you redownload the drivers? o.O

Actually, yes, none of them did, but I did try to redownload the drivers before he did, but it didn't do anything when I did it.
