i have lost all sound on W8. hvae checked plugins and they are all up to date. have never had good sound on this computer (Pacbell Easynote TE) anyway and am considering getting speakers. However i recently downloaded Windows Movie Maker as was having problems with videos taken on my phone that were taking long time to attach on e-mail (i have gmail), if they semed to big for normal 'attachment' . Have also started using their (gmail) Google drive to see if that would help speed things up, but didn't, so tried to load Cloud etc. I think that somewhere in all this the sound went, but it's a minefield (for me anyway) to try and work out. I have done the obvious and checked the Volume levels and they're all supposedly on and set at highest. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks

Did you loose sound for everything? Check the computers audio controls. It might be mute or turned down too low. If everything looks okay, plug something in the speaker jack.

Wellthis is strange, i have now checked the videos i mentioned above and now have sound, be it all very low, but that has always been the case with this pacbell since i got it. Also checked some others on Facebook and they have sound too - why would that change overnight??
