Hi RalfG,
I did not do a system restore prior to the problem. owever, last night I did
a system restore on the pc, taking July 5th as my restore point. Now, the
sound is back, everything works fine with the exception that now, my pc
cannot detect my DVDs and play them. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Macayah

Hmm, not knowing what all you tried previously I'd say try reinstalling the
sound card drivers. Did you already try doing an XP System Restore to a
point just before the sound problems started?

If the Dell recovery software doesn't have the drivers available as an
individual re-install item you can usually get up to date drivers from the
sound card manufacturer..that includes drivers for onboard sound chipsets
(eg Realtek etc.). If you uninstall the old drivers (there may be an entry
in add-remove programs) and reinstall them clean Windows will hopefully
redetect the sound hardware and reinstall the appropriate devices properly.

Thanks RalfG,
I do have Quicktime installed. The problem must be more general because
the
iTunes is not the only player affected.

AFAIK iTunes needs Apple Quicktime and its codecs in order to work.

Hello Everyone!
I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 with Windows XP, and since last week I am
having
problem with playing music files or DVD either on WMP and even iTunes.
I
reinstalled the sound card (SoundMax), installed DirectX,
troubleshoot...it
still doesn't play sounds, not even the system sounds. However, the I
can
hear the *.mid files play. I really don't know what to do next. Someone
suggested that I downloaded K-lite codecs, which I did but it was not
of
much
help. The music files just don't play on iTunes and I keep getting the
C00D11BA error message : no sound device is intalled etc. I followed
the
link
posted by Chris Lanier but nothing suggested worked, in the sound
devices
window, under the volume tab everything is dimmed, i can't change
anything.
Please HELPPPP!!!!
