Disabled play button in sounds and devices control panel

[Mark]

Why is the play button disabled in the sounds and devices
control panel applet?

I can play and hear .wav files but I cannot get them to
play with a sound theme. For example, using the sounds
and audio devices control panel applet I can
configure "ding.wav" to play on app open but the small
play button next to the browse button is disabled. I also
don't hear "ding.wav" when I open an app. My default
audio player is the windows media player.

Sound (cd audio, .mp3, dvd, etc) is working great other
than this annoying problem.

Thanks, but that didn't do it. Still disabled. Note, I've
rebooted and even gave restoresounds.reg a try.
