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. |
