Is a video card the same as a graphic card?

I am unable to get any sound out of my Laptop.(Inspiron 1525) Looking down the information given when I bought it it says it has an Video Card Integrated IntelÄ€® Graphic Media accelerator X3100. Now that means absolutely nothing to me! Could it be the same as a sound card ?|||Video card and graphics card refer to the same thing.



Audio or sound cards are separate circuitry. In this case, however, the integrated sound card is actually part of the same chipset that provides the integrated video card.



Make sure the sound isn't muted by either the laptop control keys or the sound control panel. On a bad day, there's a 3rd sound slider in your web browser window that also needs to be set.|||Graphics and video card are the same and deal with what is shown on the screen, the sound card deals with audio.|||have you tried the volume control on the edge of the laptop?
