Hi

I have a strange problem and do not really know where to post it, but I
figured this is as good a place to start as any,
someone would have had my problem or be able to point me in the right
direction.

I have Vista Ultimate SP1, SP1 was installed many weeks ago with no
problems, I have a Realtek HD soundcard.

I have not been having any problems with sound, yesterday I was playing
MP3's both on the web and from my hard drive, I was also playing games with
sound and had no problems.

This morning I started up my PC and I have no sound, no Windows startup
sounds, MP3's both online and on my hard drive have no sound and CD's I
tried have no sound.

I have tried in both iTunes and WMP, the players show the file is playing
but no sound comes out, games have no sound.

When I use the Realtek setup the sound is fine with good balance and audio
quality.

Any ideas on what is happening, it's weird!!


cheers

Daniel
 
Something may have muted the sound. Have you checked the volume mixer by
right clicking on the speaker icon in the notification area?

yes I have, also the test would not have worked if mute was on, I think.

cheers
