Whenever I want to play a piece of audio, I have one of two problems.

1. It plays but I can not hear anything although the speakers are
plugged in and I can hear the Windows sounds (eg. asterisk, log on,
shut down, little notification bubble down at bottom). Then I bring up
the volume control and it says there is no audio hardware installed and
I need to install some (it already is).

2. A message comes up saying "Failed to initialize Direct Music Audio."
.. Then it just closes it.

Thanks for any help
 
looks like your sound drivers got corrupted and need to be reinstalled, I
suggest, you uninstall the drivers first and reboot, before attempting to
reinstall.
be sure you have the correct drivers before doing the uninstall.
