WhiteRat I'm 100% serious when I say that as of this morning the sound only works on embedded media again. Apparantly it only felt like playing mp3s last night for some reason. This will be the last I speak on this frustrating issue because as soon as I back up my media, i'm wipin' dis bitch da fuck out.

Tadao Fucking computers.
May 8th, 2008 12:02 AM
WhiteRat Um, so yeah, my sound works now. Talk about a case of Eerie, Indiana...
May 5th, 2008 08:31 PM
WhiteRat I just tried it again but all of the options are from May 4th, so it's a no go. Oh well, I guess I'll be reformatting once I back up all my shit. Thanks to all the caring and kind souls who fought the good fight with me.

Tadao I'm running Vista too, so it looks different to me. Forgive me if you already did this.

choose "Different restore point"

put check in "show restore points older than 5 days"

list should be longer now.

WhiteRat I tried system restore but the only day I could choose from that I saw was sometime on the 3rd, which wouldn't work because the sound stopped working sometime in the wee hours of the 2nd. If there is a way to choose a previous date I would like to know.

EDIT: I've had Vista for just about a year and this is the first problem that i've ever had with it.

executioneer install windows xp

Pub Lover You haven't explicitly said you've used system restore & T-Dawg has suggested it at least twice.

WhiteRat I removed winamp, all sound drivers, codecs, divx, vlc, if it plays media, I got rid of it. I re-installed all of the drivers and programs, followed all of the advice I got in this thread, yet still no sound. I have no idea why it would do this. Like I said, I was playing music the night before as I fell asleep, and when I woke up it didn't work.
May 5th, 2008 04:36 PM
Tadao So you have restored you computer to the day before this happened? That sucks
May 5th, 2008 04:18 PM
WhiteRat Been there done that. I have tried everything that has been suggested and still no sound. It's maddening I tell ya.
May 5th, 2008 04:05 PM
executioneer could it be a codec problem? do you have a codec pack you could reinstall
May 5th, 2008 03:51 PM
WhiteRat Nope, still not working. When I let Vista install the driver after removing it and rebooting, the sound works on all embedded media, but not for mp3s or .wmv or mpeg files from my HD. When install the official driver from Realtek's site, it renders all sound mute and makes all video plays play very choppy.

I'm at my breaking point now and i'm considering just wiping the whole damn drive out and re-installing Vista.

Tadao Still not working even after my next 3 suggestions?

Well, there goes the idea I was about to type.

Tadao For my comp, i would do the following. testing function in between steps.

1: Check windows update for any updates that are non critical, software/hardware optional bullshit.

2: Remove/re-install my programs that are not working (winamp etc.)

3: re-install direct x whatever.

Tadao Have you tried system restore back to the day it worked last. I hate doing it, but sometimes it is the easiest fix. Another way would to be to go into device manager, remove your sound device stuff, reboot and have windows re-install the drivers and such. I have fixed my sound a few times doing that.

WhiteRat I ran a virus scan this morning using the free AVG. I'm running Spybot right now but so far nothing has come up.

Also, I forgot to mention that when I try to play a video on wmp or even on youtube, the video is choppy and runs really slow.

Archduke Tips Try to think about anything you may have installed or settings you may have changed right before the problem happened.

Check your Sounds and Audio Devices settings in control panel, and you may also want to go into your BIOS settings as well. My BIOS only allows me to turn on board sound and on and off, but perhaps yours has more settings.

Also, run a virus scan.

WhiteRat seven force you little shit! just wait until your father comes home!

Seven Force Did you try turning your hearing aid on?

WhiteRat This:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...nalid=88890008
This is what confuses me because I have all of the latest drivers and files installed.

Also, when I try to test the sounds in the Windows Sound Options, it says, "Can't play test song".
