No Sound

[MJ]

I had sound last week and could watch new clips. Over the
weekend I updated with the XP Service Pack 2 and now I
have no sound (yes, I checked to see if the mute button
was turned on).

I tried to use Media Player and it thinks that it is
playing music but again no sound.

I updated to Media Player 10 incase the XP Service Pack 2
did something to it and in the middle of the process I
was given the option of having the Music Assistant which
I declined... which promptly the reply was that Media
Player 9 was terminiated. Still no sound. I tried to re-
install Media Player 9 so I could accept Music Assistant
(although I didn't want it) in hopes of getting sound
back but the response is "there is a newer version
already installed" so it won't let me. STILL NO
SOUND!!!!!

HELP!

I had the same problem happen. It started with the
Service Pack 2 download. Any ideas?

It doesn't matter, reinstall the driver.

I run XP on my dell laptop. The XP service pack 2 caused a few problems,
which I have fixed. However, today my computer refused to have sound when it
is running avi files or iTunes. I have completly run through the sound
troubleshooter and according to it everything is fine. The volume is not
muted and restarting does not help.
Very frustrated as the problem just appeared midway through working on
something!
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Many of us seem to have trouble getting or keeping proper sound. (I did not
see any response to my own "jaggy sound".)

I just remembered GSpot, and that it might provide clues if codecs are
involved. (Which might thus serve to exclude codecs as the cause for given
trouble.)
GSpot is intended to determine the audio and video codecs in multimedia
files, but it also seems to work on mere audio files.
On writing this I updated to the latest beta release,
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/GSpot252b01.rar (freeware, 183 kB, no
installation beyond extracting, sparse documentation on website only)

The lowest pane may help you (and me) further. Note that you can change
things!
