Windows Vista Sound Scheme

[Guest]

Here's a challenge for all you whizzkids!!

Although the built in speakers in my laptop work perfectly - music, dvds,
videos, etc. - my Vista default sound scheme has stopped working. It was
working previously and I am at a loss to understand why it has stopped. I
have checked that the speakers are not muted, ensured that the levels are
properly set, checked that I have the most up to date driver, etc., etc.,
etc. None of the sounds work, including the start up, normal alerts and so
on. When I go to the sound scheme and test individual sounds they do not
play, however, if I open the individual sound files they will sound in media
player. I really am at a loss. I know there is an expert out there
somewhere who will know what to do. If you read this, I am grateful for your
help.

To quote the "Black Viper":
If you haven't yet rebooted, reboot now.
If you have rebooted, reboot again.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same problem and
I'm ready to pull my hair out.
