RE: sound is gone

XtremeAiy - thank you. I am having the same problem (My post is below).

Your suggestion has helped to zero in on a couple of answers, but I'm not
sure what to do now. I have emailed you directly, but wanted to post as well
in case this might help others.

As you suggested, I checked all my settings, which appear to be fine. I
don't have any plug-ins.

I have managed to play a CD in WMP10 by switching to analog, but it still
won't play any of my digital files.

So I tried your suggestion of creating a new admin account, and voila, the
new media player in the new account works fine. So I know for sure that all
my connections and everything else is working fine.

So - now what???? How do I get the WMP in my main account to work again?
Do you know what caused the sound to stop in the first place? Does it have
anything to do with the latest Windows update, which I downloaded shortly
before the problems started.

Thanks so much, Bongogirl
