This is XP Sp2, C2D 6400, 2 GB RAM, Asus P5LD2 MoBo with RealTek
High Definition audio device.
After installing some audio software (NCH Swift Sound suite
www.nch.com.au), the Realtek sound device was dead. Checking
'Sounds and Audio Devices' in the control panel, I get 'no audio
device', all buttons and boxes there are greyed out. DVD-Writer,
DVD-ROM and WebCam not recognized anymore.
I uninstalled those in Device Manager, then running the Add
Hardware wizard brought them back to life but not Realtek.
Uninstalled all NCH software and cleaned the registry, to no
avail, the sound device is still dead. Device is enabled, driver
info says it's working properly, properties are set to 'use
audio features .. use mixer features .. etc .. on this device'.
Any hint as to what to try next much appreciated.
