Brian,

The sound volume icon doews not show although it is selected in SOUNDS AND
AUDIO devices.

Do you mean the box "Place volume icon...." is checked under the Volume tab?
If yes, do you have the box "Hide inactive icons" checked in the Taskbars properties?
Right click an empty spot on the Taskbar.
Click Properties > Taskbar tab.
Uncheck "Hide....", click Apply > Ok.
Either right click the volume icon or double click and see if the sound is muted.


THere is no sound either system sounds or sounds from other installed
programs. But Media player plays as normal with sound!

In Control Panel > Audio and Sounds applet > Sounds tab.
Are any sounds associated with any events?


The default device is SOUNDBLASTER LIVE 24 bit.

There are no conflicts in device manager.

The SOUNBLASTER is listed and it says the device is working properly.

Ok, for the moment I await the above answers.
