No sound except from screensaver

I am running windows xp pro with service pack 2.

I have no sound with the exception of a few crackles and pops when playing
music, videos, etc. I do get sound form "media screensaver 1.01" when it is
running.

I have tried uninstalling this program with no luck.

I do not think the problem did not start when I installed the screensaver
but may have started when I updated and installed adobe acrobat reader.

I tried uninstalling adobe also with no luck.

I checked and my soundcard is enabled. It works for the screensaver so it
must be a software or registry issue, right?
