Open the Device Manager, locate your sound card and look for any conflicts.
Open the Device Manager...
Start | Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK |
Click the [+] next to Sound, video and game controllers |
Look for any of the items listed below.
Device Manager Device Conflicts
<quote>
A black exclamation point (!) on a yellow field indicates the device is in
a problem state. Note that a device that is in a problem state can be
functioning.
A problem code explaining the problem is displayed for the device.
A red "X" indicates a disabled device. A disabled device is a device that is
physically present in the computer and is consuming resources, but does not
have a protected-mode driver loaded.
A blue "i" on a white field on a device resource in Computer properties
indicates that the Use Automatic Settings feature is not selected for the
device and that the resource was manually selected. Note that this does not
indicate a problem or disabled state.
A green question mark "?" in Device Manager means that a compatible driver
for this device is installed, indicating the possibility that all of the
functionality may not be available.

You can also double click your sound card. The General tab will then show if the device is working properly or if there are any Error Codes under Device status. You can click the Troubleshoot button also.
Troubleshoot button...
[[Start the Hardware Troubleshooter if Troubleshooter is displayed. You should do this if there is a hardware conflict or a problem listed under Device status on the General tab.]]
If there are any Error Codes you can check them out here...

I have tried all the trouble shooting and i can seem to figure this
out. I have sound when i use Windows Media Player, but i have no system
sounds and no game sounds. I have Soundmax installed with the driver
version of
5.12.1.5240. When i am in the control panel and click on sounds and
select the audio tab, then under midi player i select SoundMax WDM Midi
and click apply then close that out and then open the sounds again it
didn't apply. No matter what i chose, it won't apply it. Another prob i
am having is if i go to Set Progam Acess and Defaults and select
Microsoft Windows, and click ok, and then go back to it, it is set at
custom. SO i tried again, and still stays at custom. Can Anyone Please
Help??? System restore still hasn't helped. Thanks.
