| Hello All,
|
| I am having a sound problem on my computer.  Everything
| was working fine.  The computer has been running properly
| and all of my sounds played correctly.  Now, all of a
| sudden I am not able to hear ANY sounds - not windows
| sounds, not audio files, games, etc.  I have not changed
| my computer configuration at all, and I have not added or
| removed any programs - excpet some ad-ware.
|
| In the hardware profile it recognizes my sound card and
| says everything is working fine.  When I go to the
| Control Panel > Sounds, and I test the Windows sounds the
| Play button is depressed as if it was going to play, but
| nothing happens.  In fact, the button stays depressed
| (showing the stop button) indefinately.  The normal sound
| only takes a second to play, but the button will stay
| depressed until I make it stop.  This is making me think
| that the audio problems I am having are not necessarily
| with my sound card, but with Windows itself.
|
| I am using Windows XP - Professional.  I have a 600 mhz
| AMD Athalon with 512 mb of RAM.  I have a Creative SB
| Live sound Card.  As I stated, everything was working
| fine until all audio just stopped.  All of the speaker
| wires are hooked up and turned on, and there does not
| appear to be any event surrounding the circumstances.
|
| I appreciate any help you can provide.
