Cannot hear sound when I turn off my computer and turn it back on

[meadow]

When I turn off my computer and turn it back on, I cannot
hear sound.
My Installation CD is labeled Sound Blaster Live! Value
Digital 1024 Software.
I can reinstall the program and hear sound, but if I turn
off my computer and turn it back on again I cannot hear
sound.
When I cannot hear sound and I view Sound and Audio
Devices Properties, under Default Device, I view "Modem #0
Line Playback".
Thank you for your help,
meadow

Click the down arrow next to modem #0 to get a drop down menu.
Are there any other devices listed ?

You are shutting xp down properly I hope, you;re not just turning off the
power ?
