Hi atntimmy209

Go into your device manager (Control panel > System > Hardware tab > Device manager) and see if the device is functioning properly. Check for any Yellow question marks ?
You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling it using whatever drivers windows finds.
If this is onboard sound your dirvers would be on the mobo disk. If it's an adapter card they would be on the disk that came with the card.

Check in winamp preferences in Options
Get to the output in plugins select the appropriate output and click on configure
You can now choose which device you want to use
Select your mob card and apply

Let's get this straight, do you have any sound at all or just no sound and an error when you play music in Winamp?

First, you can go to Add/Remove Programs and remove Winamp and then try to reinstall.
Or you can Open the program,Winamp, and use the directions I gave in the earlier post.

Which file did you delete originally? If you can't remember the filename, do you know which folder it was deleted from? It sounds like it was an important system file.

Go to Start > Run and type dxdiag
Does it let you run any tests in the Sound and Music tabs or is it all greyed out?

Try reinstalling DirectX9.0c

What make/model is your soundcard, or is it onboard?
