This one has me stumped... To Start a restore isn't feasable because this
problem happened a long time ago and it didn't bother me enough to deal with
it. Now I have need, and I can't figure it out. I basically have no Windows
based sounds for performing actions (beeps,alarms etc) I also have no sounds
when doing certain things online. And finally I recently obtained Microsoft
digital image suite and it does not even recognize I have a soundcard! (
albeit this may be a different problem, but thought to throw it in the mix
also) I go into sound controls through control panel and select tabs for
setting windows actions to sounds an can select action and sound but the
preview button stays greyed out like there is no sound available even though
it is on the list. I spent a fair amount of time cruising options to see if a
disabled something somewhere and for the life of me can't figure it out... My
main sound controls are not muted or turned down. I have tried both my
onboard sound (Realtek AC97) and my regular card (Audigy 4) but same issue
for both. I'm guessing this is a windows based issue and not the sound card.
Could this be a corrupt codec or something? Just to be clear I do have sound
for games and streaming audio, mp3, video's etc. I do keep my computer up to
date (critical updates, vid/audio drivers, java) I also run NAV2006. My
machine is a AMD 3200 on AV8 board with 1gig ram. Radeon 1300 512meg vid card
and afformetioned Audigy 4 sound card. Any ideas would be appreciated. I did
also follow a idea from a previous post to make sure my win core files were
intact (SFC /scannow) command. It scanned through and I rebooted, but it
didn't change anything.
