System Sounds not working

G'Day All,

My PC Sound System works with Windows Media and iRiver players,
and tests ok with dxdiag.

Game Sounds play correctly.

However, it no longer plays System Sounds.

In the Control Panel Applet, I see the expected list of sounds, I can select
different sounds, but the 'Play' button is disabled (I can play the sounds with
WMP 10 if I use Explorer). The Sound device is selected on the Audio and
Voice Tabs.

Although the 'Place volume icon in the taskbar' box is checked, the control
no longer appears in the System Tray.

I have a TV Card that also fails to play Sounds as it did previously.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

just trying to help


After a Win update last year, same thing happened to me.

I ended up spending a wk on this issue, and then went to Cntl
Panel,Sounds-Audio, and made a new sound scheme and saved/applied. That
worked.....
