The only things I can suggest is to try a System Restore back to a time before you noticed the problem with the sound.
Check all of the settings, under the tabs, in Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices.
Go through the troubleshooter in the Device Manager/Sound, video and game controllers/<your soundcard>/Properties. There may be a problem there.
Check for an updated driver for the sound card or reinstall the current driver.
Also, go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer and check for any recent X error messages associated with the sound.

I have the same problem, I tried the fixes and it did not help. The sound.
works from itunes and anything that plays through directsound, however the
windows sounds and the click from ie are all gone. In fact in the sound
confuration page, the play icon is ghosted out. I first noticed that I could
not muta or adjust the sound volume using my volume control keys on my
bluetooth microsoft keyboard, during the same time the sound icon dissapeared
from the tray. Any Ides on how to fix this.

Hi there!
After a reboot the icon for the Volume control (sndvol32.exe) has
disappeared from the tray! I can find no way to restore it! Please help!
I've already tried to:
- double-check the option on the Sound card config panel to make the
icon appear,
- reinstall sound card driver (also tried a new version),
- do a complete (off- and on-line) scan against viruses, malwares, etc.
... but nothing changed!
The Sound card seems working fine and I can manage volumes by launching
sndvol32.exe manually, but it should appear automatically on the tray!!!
Can anybody please give me a help??
ThX
Bye
P.S.: OS is Windows XP Home Ed. SP2
