system sounds but no other sounds

I have an xp professional system and for some reason my sound card stopped
working. I replaced it with SB audigy 4 and I can get it to work for about a
day then it stops working. I now have system sounds (start up, errors, and
shut down) but no sound in any other program. I have uninstalled and
reinstalled the drivers and programs but still no sound. I see the sound card
in device manager and it says device working fine. In sounds and Audio device
properties it states no audio device and everything is greyed out. I have
even tried updating the device driver for the sound card. I have disabled the
onboard sound card and still no sound. Speakers plugged in and power (easy to
figure out since I get system sounds :) ). I am at a lost to what is wrong
now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here is a place to start at.
Where did my sounds go?

I tried the first two things on the list there since that is what seemed to
apply to my case and that hasnt' fixed the problem. I still only get system
sounds.
