Default No Sound. Cannot access file

Hi all,
I installed Vista RC1 , build 5600. When I try to play any mp3's in windows
media player, I get this error..
"Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you
might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy
settings might not be correct". I can play video files , but there is no
audio. I have SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio onboard sound card. I have
tried changing the permissions on some of the mp3s(full controll to all
users), but still the same. I have tried playing using other players like
foobar,real,iTunes....but none of them work. I do not see any problems in the
Device Manager and also do not see any errors in the Event Viewer.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

I could not find a solution either. I have asked this question on numerous
forums with no luck, so I switched back to XP.

Try getting an updated driver for your sound card which is compatible with
Vista. Also try installing the latest Vista version.

Default No Sound on my Pc too but I solve it...somehow...

Hi. I have Vista Ultimate and also SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio onboard.
The same problem. The driver is up to date (Vista checked online), after
restarting I can play the mp3s but after pausing Winamp or opening Windows
Media Player or another application the sound turn off. I found a way to
restore it without rebooting. Here is how: Control Pannel, Hardware and
Sound, Sound, right click on Speakers and then Propreties, Advanced tab,
choose a preset then click Test. After some moments it says that another
application is using the sound....choose to terminate that application and
the sound come back. Till when? Till the next time it wants to go out... I
wonder if this audio bug can be fixed....

I just tried going into the control panel sound, and when I got there it
recognized I was having a problem and asks if I wanted to disable something,
so I clicked yes. Now everything is working. I hope this helps some of you
folks. It was really frustrating before.
