I have a friend's Dimension 8250 that I'm trying to fix. The sound
used to work on it fine but recently stopped. On bootup however, the
windows startup sound DOES work as well as the windows shutdown sound.
But, when a user is actually logged in no sound can be heard through
any application. So that tells me that the speakers work and that
there doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
I've checked all the volume settings and made sure nothing (as far as
I can find) is set to 'mute'. Also, if you adjust the volume the only
thing that happens is a System Beep.
I've tried reinstalling the SoundMAX drivers from Dell and that didn't
seem to resolve the problem. There seems to be some sort of property
or setting in Windows that is causing this and I can't find it. Anyone
have any pointers?
