You could start looking here
for the Audio Driver.
Don't know if you have the dv5000 CTO, dv5000ea, or the dv5000t CTO, and whether it's for Vista or XP.

Thanks, I got it working again.

This forum is meant for the discussion of personal computers, including recommendations, common problems and solutions. What was yours?

Zap516,

I don't find your questions appropriate for a public message board..If you are site owner/moderator I am sorry, But if this information is so important to the site then you need to make a disclaimer before one is allowed to post a question.I have been on this site for years (even before when we used to have to donate to a membership to be able to post) and I have to say thanks to all who have help me over the years as well as thanks to all who help make this message board possible..

What is the agenda of your question?

I think all zep516 meant was that you gave no indication of what you did to make the audio in your laptop work again. It would be of interest and possibly help to others if you would post this information.

Please don't be so sensitive.

What was my agenda? I wanted you to post the solution to the problem, without the solution the thread is useless to anyone reading it, people read these threads looking for solutions to problems, your thread had no solution posted. I did not mean anything by it, perhaps I could have phrased it better.

If my good friend Grandms would not have posted I probably won't share my thoughts on this, but i don't want her out on a ledge by herself.

I agree with her.

I read the thread as; I have a problem and need some assistance, I fixed it on my own, The forum is not just for questions but also for solutions too so how did you resolve your concern?

The communication apparently went south after that. In my mind its just a refresher on how we all have to be careful and complete when we post.

I am sorry, I guess I have misunderstood your question..There used to be allot of complaints of business's and computor repair techs coming here for free help..I thought you was asking if I was a tech or if I was repairing my personal pc..

My problem was a corrupt file in the driver..The link above helped me find the driver I needed..I found the file by going to- Start-Control Panel-Sounds and Audio Devices then the Hardware tab..I clicked through the names of the hardware files and one said something like file not found or not working correctly..Then I right clicked it and deleted it..Then I went to the link above and clicked my PC model in the list and looked through the audio drivers and found the name of the one I deleted and downloaded/installed it..Then it was working fine...

I truly am sorry for flying off the handle like I did..I just took your question the wrong way..Sort of felt like you was asking who are you to post on my message board, lol

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving..

No problem, my post could have been phrased much better, and I agree It could have been taken the wrong way.

Grandms take an extra minute or two to enjoy your morning coffee. As they say where I come from, "You did good."
