No Windows Sound for one user

[James]

am experiencing a strange problem with my windows
sounds. It doesn't play any windows sounds for one of my
user accounts, but it does in the other accounts.

The account that it doesn't play the sound on is the main
account that i use, the account that i install software
from etc. And i just get a windows internal BEEP. BUT..
audio video sounds etc are all playing fine through the
speakers, its just the windows sounds.

I recently installed a 4.1 sound card around the time of
the problem, but have since upgraded my mobo with built
in 5.1 sound so am not using the 4.1 sound card any more.

I have been told at work that this may be a bug in the
service pack, but i seam to remember this happening a
while after I installed the service pack.

I have tried to turn the sounds schemes off and on,
checked the levels and made sure that nothing is muted.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,

See if this helps:

Fix the Ding.wav File (Line 6)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

If not, more info here and good luck!
