Soundcard stops functioning on me and my two Cd/Dvd drives are not repsonding either.

All was working fine yesterday, I have the latest drivers for my soundcard and the rest, but now it's does not respond to me, more specifically it looks like it was uninstalled(no one touched it or my comp but me last night, and I didn't play with any of the settings either. but no one was in my room the whole time I was asleep and my room was locked too. Maybe a virus or something else?:doh:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When you say that your soundcard looks like it was uninstalled, do you mean that it isn't listed in the device manager? Is it listed but not putting out sound? Try uninstalling the card, then run the add hardware wizard to detect and install it again. Check your sound card manufacturers website and see if others are having the same problems once they install these latest drivers.

As for your CD drives, do they not work at all? Do they open and close but not play music or games?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

they open and all, but I still don't see them.. and as for the soundcard it just came loose ><;. SO that's solved. But as for my CD/DVD players..not solved.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling them through the device manager. Since you opened up the computer to check on your sound card, you didn't happen to notice if any cables to your CD drives were loose? It might be best to shut the computer down and reseat them all just to make certain.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Fixed. Thanks alot for the help Sol. Mods...feel free to close this thread now.

I was speaking idiomatically.
