at evening my winxp fine, I run JDownloader to download files and automatic shutdown. Her next morning when watching youtube I can not hear sound from youtube. Likewise with other sites. But strangely, when I play music and movie files offline and the sound could be heard fine. Welcome sound of windows and some other sound when being lost. I've tried all the suggestions are like reinstall sound drivers, checking service, Etc. checks, virus checks, and run windows as well tweaking did not help. On the control panel - sound and audio service-program event sound, I could not hit the play button. Wav file but its weird there. When I checked and played with winamp could be heard.
At the sound part of the Internet option enabled but I also have not helped.
is there any solution besides reinstall windows again? This possible new macro viruses that disable sound. Maybe you could add this in vitur upcoming upgrade.

I thank you for all the help and advice

So sound works, such as winamp, but windows sounds are not working (Possible the wav files are missing)

I see the realtek sound icon in your system tray, if you open that and do a sound test can you hear it?

I had a customer with a problem like this, turns out the realtek had the wrong jack set as the default.

I have to admit, this is the first time I have seen this problem.

With my customers if the sound doesn't work it is normally all sounds, not just some.

Do me a fav. Go to the device manager.

Then go to view and click on show hidden devices, this will show all hard ware ever on the system.

Then go to the sound hardware, expand it and grab a screen shot for me.

I am wondering if there is something left over or something changed to where windows thinks there is more than one sound card and some things are trying to play through the phantom sound card.

Hi, Shane,

Probably this may fix the threader's problem. But i want to see the solution in the link, because, i am not an expert in registry.If it fixes the problem, and if you find there are no trojans or indirect hacks, then i would request you to recommend this fix, an instant fix at that. Pl

That might help and does actually give me an idea to what is happening.

Winamp and such play sound directly to the sound card, it doesnt go through windows it works right with the driver.

Other things though, such as IE and windows sounds go though Windows to play the sounds, and if the regkeys for those are missing that would explain it.

It isnt a driver problem but a Windows Audio problem. Good find, I would like to see if that gets him working, if it does I should add it to the Windows repair
