Specific Sounds don't play

[TonyD]

Windows startup, shutdown, mail notification and other
specific sounds don't play. I have Windows-XP home.
Other sounds play just fine and when I go into Control
Panel/Sounds I can play all the sounds. But those
specific sounds don't play when they are supposed to.
What's going on here and how do I fix it? I've tried
uninstalling my sound drivers and re-installing... didn't
help.

Try going to the Control Panel>Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices>Change Sound Scheme and then pick Windows Default in the Sound Scheme box

Or...if you actually want to correct the problem, go to Kelly's Site,
www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp.htm and follow the procedure in her Top 10 FAQs,
"Where did my sounds go?"
