Have you installed any new software lately? Reason I ask is that once I installed a sound file format converter on my PC at work, and it added a registry key that had the effect of permanently muting my system sounds. The registry key wasn't even necessary to the app; the app was just very badly written (beware freeware!).

Believe it or not I found the solution to my problem in a M$ knowledge base discussion document. It might be worth your while trawling the site to see if you can find anything that matches your symptoms. If a registry edit is the remedy, they will give you step by step instructions (at your own risk of course!)

Good luck.
