No System Sounds
Out of the blue, my Win XP Pro machine stopped playing system sounds. The
volume control icon no longer appears in the system tray and the "play" button is greyed out when I go to Control Panel>>Sounds.. CD and .WAV audio plays fine with Quicktime and Windows Media Player. I've tried reinstalling the sound driver but the problem still exists. Any ideas?

Re: No System Sounds
Thanks for the info, but none of those tricks worked.

Re: No System Sounds
Scott, you may have a corrupted Profile. Try creating a new user profile
and see if the sounds work Ok.
