Do you mean that you deleted the sound icon and cannot find it on your computer? Or do you mean that you actually deleted the drivers?

Right click on MyComputer from the desktop icon or the start menu. Chose Properties then Hardware (tab), click the Device Manager button. Scroll down the list to the topic of Sound / Video and Game Controllers and expand it open so you can see what is listed.

If you believe that the audio drivers are installed on your system. Locate your Audio driver in the list. Find your specific Audio Driver file, right click on it and Un-install / Remove it. (the Audio driver should be one of the only items that has the "Un-install / Remove" option under the right click.)

Restart the computer and Windows should come back up and say it has found new hardware and Windows will install the software. Your sound should then work.

If that doesn't work, then go to the computer manufacturer's site (Dell, Compaq, etc.) and look for their support/drivers section. Put your make and model in to bring up the list of drivers. Look for your sound driver - install it.

I hope this helps!!

If the software & drivers are gone, first thing to do is identify the soundcard,

go to sounds

then see what sound card yer using

my guess is realtec

it should tell ya right under the volume tab

then typpe it in your search engine followed by the word drivers

and reload the drivers from one of the driver sites

Ive gone into my system to check it out my codecs and my audio driver the computer says is installed and working properly. The only thing it says is not working is my multimedia audio controller which it says is not installed I cant get the info for it cuz my computer says its unavailable.

My daughter did that recently, the drivers were still there but the software for the soundcard had disappeared. Fortunately I'd downloaded the software and saved it long ago on disc as there were no cd's came with the pc.
Did you try the "run/dxdiag" as mentioned above?
You should be able to find the relevant software online.

(If you can at least get the soundcard make & model I'm sure someone on here can point you to the site)

What's the make and model of your computer?
Is there a service tag number or serial number of some type on it?
Is it a notebook or desktop system?

Here's the link to your audio drivers.

http://downloads.emachines.com/drivers/audio/AC97_5.10.0.3910.zip

Extract that file to a folder on your desktop and run the setup.
It should reinstall everything for you.

Other drivers for you system are at this page.

Try that and let us know how it goes. :)
