[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] You have an integrated soundcard. It is done my motherboard manufacturers to save money. It's also often done with graphics cards, and when it's done with graphic cards, they often don't put an AGP slot on the board. This is very, very annoying. You don't have that problem. "Question 1: Could the motherboard be faulty?" Yes. It could. "Question 2: Could someone have hacked into my system while I've been on the Net and not bothered to tell me?" Possibly. But almost certainly not. Unless you're on a permanent dial-up connection (which I doubt, since you're in the UK), it's quite hard to hack other computers. Especially if you're not an idiot when it comes to downloading weird files and opening strange e-mails. Even if they did, I'm not sure how they'd manage to muck up your sound and printer to the point where a driver reinstallation does nothing. "Question 3: What the fuck is wrong with my machine!?" I have no idea. Of course, if you just want your sound back. you could buy a new soundcard. You should almost certainly have a spare PCI slot. You could pick up a cheap SB 128 for a tenner, and put that in. It wouldn't help your printer though. It's also possible that you're somehow turned off the integrated soundcard in the BIOS. Load it up and select "Load BIOS defaults", and see if that does anything? And finally, did you have a habit of regularly pluging and unpluging the printer lead while the computer was on?
