    hey i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix sounds on a pc?? i was just given a new pc built from parts and it has no sounds at all and whenever i try to play something such as music and such i get a popup that says "Bad DirectSound Driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration." then when i try to fix it by going to
    Start> All Programs> Accessories> Entertainment> Volume Control

    i get another popup that says

    "There are no active mixer devices avaliable. To install mixer devices, go to control panel, click printer and other hardware, and the click add hardware."

    i tried fixing it by running {services.msc} but it still doesnt work so can anyone please help me fix this problem?
