Sound not working
I have a sound card in my system that appears to work properly. For
example I can go into the sound part of control panel and play any system sounds. The problem is it appears it won't play the system sounds at many points in programs. For example in Windows Messenger when a new email comes in instead of playing the usual sound it just makes a beep on the computer's speaker. The same thing happens in Outlook XP when a new email comes in. It just uses the computers speaker for a beep. This didn't happen until a few days ago. Any idea what is going on? |

Sound not working
Greetings Mark,
First, download and run these .reg files (just download and choose Run) http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/dingfix.reg http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...m_soundfix.reg Note: in the last .reg file, if your Messenger installation isn't in C:\, you'll need to open it in Notepad and change the drive letter. After these are imported, reboot, and see if you're now able to get sound. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "MarkW" wrote in message ...
