I installed the latest nvidia nforce drivers but I hear no sound at all. any suggestions?
 
double check that you have the speakers plugged in the right ports. the NF4 has what 6 different audio ports on the back.Did u have sound before the driver upgrade?

I did not check the sound before the drivers, but I believe I didnt. I only can hear sound when playing games but not when watching a online google movie or whatever.

there were two audio cables from the speakers, one greenish yellow and the other black. i plugged them into the appropriate ports

thanks for your help :)

correction: I do hear audio from windows media player as well
 
guys, where do I install my sound drivers? it seems like I can only get sound from windows media player, games and some other stuff. however, i cant get sound from online movies and I cant seem to hear anything from AOL. also i cannot hear any windows sounds

also ... the codecs? where do I get them?

it is really strange. thanks
 
You don't install them anywhere special...just where it automatically tells you they are going during the setup process. As far as codecs, it depends on what codec the audio was made with. Do a search on which codecs the movies you can't hear are being made with and you can do another search and download them. It's been a while since I've used anything like this, but I remember there was a program that would tell you which video/audio codecs where used when you gave it a file to analyze, and it would also tell you which media players had that codec pack as a standard. Maybe somebody here can tell you which program that is. I'll try to remember.


Edit:

Well, this isn't the one I used to use, but it looks like it does the same thing and it's free.

What color is the connector you're plugging into? It sounds like you're plugging into the rears or center or something
