the sound icon on my window pc suddenly has a red 'x' on it after doing the routine automatic update thingy. I am not computer smart so i have no idea what to do now. It is NOT muted. My speaker ARE on. And i have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. when i go to open a song it tells me it cannot be played because of the sound device isnt working.
By the way, if it helps to know, my computer is a gateway;; windows

your sound card may have died out, but the first thing to try would be to see if the sound driver might have gotten corrupted during the updates. Go to gateway's website and get the free soundcard driver from their website. If that doesn't work, you may need to take it to a computer repair shop unless you know how to do it yourself ^^
