System Sounds Don't Play

[Guest SoxFanInVA]

Today I noticed my system sounds no longer play. However I can go into the

Windows\Media folder and play any of the system sounds directly in Media

Player. I can also play mp3's with no problem and my tv tuner card has

sound playback. I've tried manually setting up a couple sounds with their

events and that does not work. I have tried the default scheme, Ultimate

Extra Glass scheme, Ultimate Extras Pearl scheme and none of them work.

 

No conflicts in device manager.

 

Computer is a Dell XPS 410, sound card is "High Def Audio Device".

 

Would appreciate any help.

 

Thanks,

Tom

How did you try manually setting them?

by clicking browse in the sound menu where the system events are listed and

finding a wav file.

No sound when clicking preview/test. The sounds play when browsing to the

media folder and playing in Media Player.

If no sounds in preview, have you tried system restore?

Re: System Sounds Don't Play

 

no, haven't tried restore. Won't I lose some installed apps? If so then

it's not worth it to me. Thanks.

Re: System Sounds Don't Play

 

It depends on when the installed apps were installed. If they have been on

your system for a few months and you

restore to a date a week ago, you lose nothing. Suggest you read about

system restore.
