How did you try manually setting them?

Today I noticed my system sounds no longer play. However I can go into the Windows\Media folder and play any of the system sounds directly in Media Player. I can also play mp3's with no problem and my tv tuner card has sound playback. I've tried manually setting up a couple sounds with their events and that does not work. I have tried the default scheme, Ultimate Extra Glass scheme, Ultimate Extras Pearl scheme and none of them work.

No conflicts in device manager.

Computer is a Dell XPS 410, sound card is "High Def Audio Device".

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Tom
