Hello. Thank you for your time. I have Belarc.-no problems found (that I
could see). I haven't added anything new prior to losing the sound.
I think this sound problem happened when my son hit the button to put the pc
to "sleep, and he went ahead and immediately shut it down by holding in the
"off" button on the tower. After this, we lost all sound.
No, I cannot play any system sounds in the Control Panel listing.
No, I do not have a microphone handy at the moment. I will get mine back
from one of my kids this weekend and try it.
I am in the middle of downloading the Everest program right now. On their
website is a program for a free driver scan from DriverAgent.com? Should I
try that also? Thanks so much...again!!! Dawn

Hello. Just wanted to let you both know, I tried both your suggestions, and
neither worked. I also typed "dxdiag" in the run registry and everything was
listed with "no problem". HAH!! Anyway, my 2 sound devices listed are Wave
Device for voice, and C-Media WDM Audio device, which is the one that says
"Driver is enabled but inactive due to an unknown problem." Thanks for taking
the time to help me. I really appreciate it. Dawn.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Sound &Multimedia devices
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch - if present
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers,
hopefully curing your problem.

Hi. I posted previously about this and I'm still without sound on my pc.
In
the control panel/Sounds and Multimedia Properties/Devices
it says that the driver for my audio for C-media is "Enabled, but inactive
due to an unknown problem"
Any ideas of what I can try to do to remedy this. System Restore doesnt
bring it back, as I had a prior problem with that program, but thanks to
the
people on this website, it is up and running again. Thanks for any help
you
guys can give me.
