Window XP

I have problem with my computer voice, there is no volume. When I go to master volume
the "SPDIF" option is dim. What can I do to bring the volume back, does it has to do anything with "SPDIF", If it is then how I can make it activated. thanks

I would go to device manager and see if your sound card is having issues.  it may be disabled or it may need the driver reinstalled.

How I can reinstall the driver.
the distributor of the sound card would have the drive in an exe file to make things easy.  If you have a dell or HP etc computer go to their downloads and drivers and find your computer and they will be marked and have an easy install.
I installed it but I still do not hear anything.
Common issue with this sort of thing is that the speakers or headset is simply plugged into the wrong socket. In you're typical setup, the socket for your regular headphones or speakers is colour coded with a light green outline.

The other thing is if you go into the Sounds applet in the Control Panel and look at the playback devices, check which device sound it being output from.
