I'm using Vista Home Premium, and for the last few days, any sounds would
stop working, mostly when using media software. I went into my sound devices,
and I selected not to use the default Playback device (only temporarily), and
it completed deleted the device. I do not have anything to install with, such
as a CD-ROM. How can I fix this simple mistake? System Restore didn't work
for me.
 
I got my device enabled again, thanks to dean-dean's reply to an older message.

However, it still doesn't explain why my sound stops working and the system
requires a restart. I never had this problem before.
 
What if you do that and the device that you need is not there? I have
Bluetooth stereo headset but it does not appear in Control Panel/Sound for me
to make it the default device. It was there prior to a Vista reinstall but
not now.
 
Thanks mate!
I really freaked out when I discovered that none of the support programs, or
online help couldn't help me.
