inadvertantly removed/deleted and that it still plays.  All the correct
codecs are in place.  I have also searched the registry for anything that
looked incorrect.  I can't rule out that it is a registry-related problem,
but nothing odd stood out.  Aside from reformatting (or pulling the internal
speaker), not quite sure where to go from here.  I've scoured the web end to
end and found no solutions, which brings me here.
