My old hard drive burnt out so I bought a hard drive to replace it. After I installed Windows and several and several other softwares, I tried to listen to some music, but I don't hear anything. I know my speakers are fine, because I tried them on my other computer. I also know that my integrated sound card is not broken, because it was working fine a week ago on my old hard drive. I manually updated my audio drivers, but Windows says they are all updated. I was looking at at my sound, video, and game controllers under my device manager, and I saw 7 devices (Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Devices, Media Control Devices, MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device, Standard Game Port, Video Codecs). I am not sure, but is the MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device suppose to be there?

Is your PC branded or custom built?

My computer is custom built. I bought it ~3 years ago.

Ok, did you install the sound card software for your motherboard.

My computer did not come with any software. I investigated my problem further and I discovered that Windows is not detecting any audio devices. Any ideas why? I've already tried updating my drivers.

As i said you need to install the audio drivers.

If you built the machine then you would have received a motherboard driver disc.

If you don't have the disc then look up the motherboard on the manufacturers website and get the audio drivers that way.
