Windows sounds not working

[Mark Rae]

Hi,

I'm using Windows 2000 Professional on a fairly standard PC less than a year
old. Recently, I installed Service Pack 4 and, since then, Windows seems to
have "lost the link" between system events and my sound card.

E.g. I have the Windows Default scheme set up in Control Panel, Sounds and
Multimedia yet, when a new email arrives in my Outlook 2000 inbox, it causes
a beep on my PC's internal speaker rather than the expected New Mail
Notification (notify.wav) sound. However, if I go into Sounds and
Multimedia, select that sound and run it, it does indeed play through my
soundcard's speakers.

Also, if I write e.g. a VBScript file with a line such as MsgBox("Hello"),
the message box pops up but no sound (chord.wav) is heard.

Similarly, Windows Logon Sound.wav is not heard when I restart Win2k.

This all used to work perfectly until I installed SP4.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there a fix?

Any assistance gratefully received.

Best regards,

Mark Rae
