    well...what sort of websites are you accessing that the sound does not work while accessing those websites?

    Try www.youtube.com any clip there .... does it work in ie? firefox?

    download opera browser. see if it works there... if it doesnt.

    Than there are two possibilities: 1) it is a hardware problem 2) you got some sort of a bug

    No it does not work in opera either, listen dragon before in my other post you thought i was trying to get into someones logon and now your saying its a browser problem seems to me your just shooting into the dark. And also it seems to me its unlikely its a hardware problem since i can hear songs on windows media player fine which i HAVE mentioned.

    Did the sound in browsers work on your old monitor (you say it's a new monitor)?

    Is it a new PC or fresh install of windows?

    Was there any drivers or an installation CD with the monitor that you had to use?

    Looks like you where right phonetic it is because of a driver for some reason every time i try to install it , it says it has been installed but it says it has not been digitally signed on the driver tab.Would a driver that has not been digitally signed cause this problem?

    Potentially..

    Are there two separate drivers?

    I mean, it's just an audio cable that connects to speakers in the monitor housing. It doesn't need an audio driver. Seems a little strange. Does the monitor have media controls on it at all? Play, Stop, Pause, etc?

    Did you have to install the drivers before the monitor worked? Most things should just work without drivers.

    Anyway, I'd try to go back to the old drivers and see if things still work.

    go to Control Panel -> System ->Hardware tab -> Device Manager

    guess its not because of a driver then, could this be anything to do with the new wireless network. and no it is not a multimedia monitor just standard.

    I think i know whats wrong.I THINK there might not be any problem in the monitor but maybe the problem lies in the way the computer recognises the speakers in the monitor, i think anyway.

    if you are really bothered by it, reinstall the windows, make sure all drivers (.dll files) of the browser are installed too.

    However before you do decide reinstalling the windows. Try this:

    First notice what is the model of your monitor is and the company.
    Write the model #, name of monitor, company here on sciforums.
    I will look for .dll files for you to reinstall to make sure everything works.

    This is the company of your monitor: HannsG
    webservice_us@hannsg.com

    use that email service to ask them your specific question


    Anyways you need to tell me exactly the
    Product No:

    of your monitor.

    Than go here: http://usservice.hannsg.net/
    and look in downloads section to see what specific downloads there are for your specific 19" wide screen monitor (there are many varietes of this type)
