    Hi


    I finished doing a clean install on my 1420

    Unfortunately the drivers & utility CD is messed up and wont read. So i am forced to download the drivers from the Internet

    But then I think I missed the Audio one? Because now it does not have any sound when I play something...

    the buttons still work but just no sound.


    Anyone have any ideas?
    and if i need a driver, which one do i need?

    Check the device manager and see if you have any yellow exclamation marks. It means that the drivers are not yet installed. If they are installed, you have to go to the control panel>sound, and check the playback device. make sure the audio device is selected.
