[solved] No Sound/Volume

[Quirkie]

Hi

For some reason there is something wrong with the sound/volume on my laptop. It's a windows XP

I tried to play some music on my windows media player and it came up with a message that there is a problem with the sound device. It was working fine last night. I do not know what happen. I did check the volume control and nothing is muted

 

Thanks any help

For one thing my icon for the volume had disappeared off my taskbar. I went to the sound, speech and audio devices on the control panel and click the volume tab and tried to check the one that said to "place volume icon in the taskbar" but it said no audio device or something like that. Anyway I ended up going to system restore and clicking the day before. It worked and I got the icon back and the sound/volume and got the sound/volume back. I couldn't even play videos. I don't know how it happened. I'm just glad it's fixed now
