I've been music deprived since I had my dell reformated last night. So what I hear now, is beeping everytime I send a message through aim.
There's absolutely no sound coming from the speakers, and the cords have not been touched since they last worked (before I reformated).Friends have told me to reboot and start over again from scratch, and I've been told to purchase a new sound card--is there a way of fixing it without getting one?
I'm in desperate need of it getting fixed in the past day or two.
