Hi, I really need some help~ I have been without sound for about a week now. I have tried everything I know plus more to try and get my sound back. One day the sound wasn't working I went to adjust volume and speakes were gone. This did happen after I had been deleting unused things and unistalling unused programs etc. Sound does not work in many programs such as, IE, Firefox, Yahoo Messenger. Sound does work in Windows Media Player and Java powered game rooms. The sound control on my keyboard is also not working.

I tried to update windows updates. I tried to reinstall/repair the sound card. I tried deleting and reistalling the sound card all together. I tried system restore points but my computer did no change to the farthest back (6 days) I could go and every point before that the restore was unsuccesful. I have used the XP troubleshoot menus. I have checked all sound tests and they report the sound working and drivers detected. There are no red or yellow marks beside any audio files. I went threw and tried everything I thought may work for my problem I found in this forum. No luck!

My PC Model is Dell Dimension 1160/B110. My sound card is SoundMAX Digital Audio. I running Xp.

I hope I have provided you with all the information you need and thank you for your help ahead of time! -Ashlee
