Why Would You Lose Sound On One User

S

WXP Pro
Version 2002
Service Pack 3 with all current updates

Dell
Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80Ghz 2.79Ghz, 512 MB RAM

System has three users all with admin rights - User 1(primary - me), User 2
(wife), and System Admin. (which I made visible on desktop).

I (User 1) have lost sound when attempting to play CD's, and other audio
files using WMP 11, however, I can still hear system sounds. User 2 and
System Admin. still have full sound.

System restore does not help ( in this case I only had a restore point from
5 days ago.

Any thoughts?

So for the obvious: Where is the volume slider positioned in WMP?

For the next obvious: When you double-click on the sound tray icon, where
are the sliders positioned for master, wave, and cd audio? Is mute enabled
on them?

Thanks for the obvious - damn slider (hard to see) on WMP was all the way to
the left. Had to be one of those quick mouse moves. Glad yopu can't see my
face now!

Thanks again!
