Windows did an auto update this morning and since then the pc speakers haven't worked, nothing appears to be amiss in the control panel.

Any ideas?

System restore at a very last resort

Onboard sound or a sound card?

Been hearing nasty things about windows latest updates and that was one of them.Try removing the driver update or just do a restore. You wont lose anything by doing that as you probably know anyway.

cheers

Find the updates that were downloaded, what are you running? XP  or Vista?

Easy, open from start menu and type "windows update"  click on it when it pops up and then click on install history that will tell you what was installed when. Then search for that in the same way and delete the thing.Then restart the pc.
I`m on my XP machine but i can nick the lappy from son and go thu it with you on that as thats Vista.

Check the obvious first, I've chased faults on my own machines to find things turned off\unplugged after hours of screaming!

Assuming the speakers are working and plugged in then no need to uninstall the SP, just play around with the driver, rollback, uninstall, remove device, install with drivers from manufacturers site etc... Before you remove it note down what card it is, if it's onboard find out the motherboard model.

Was about to say it is all pugged in ? Have you another pc, try swapping out speakers if they are connected. Sons did this to me once hence the lappy for me and the other two for them, so if they break it they pay for it.

So heck am i on this and not on my lappy?  Agggggggggggg  Children always get their own way!!!!

Speakers LED on as normal, and toggling the mute button I can hear them slightly.

Re-booted?

Yep.
