Windows Sound Help
Going mad  here
Dunno what the heck has happened to my windows system sounds but they are not mapping through my soundcard so I get no sound
Anyone know how I restore this ? This all happened since I installed k-lite codecs : uninstalled that and am still getting the same problem
Any suggestions ?

Re: Windows Sound Help
Can you use system restore to a point before you installed the codecs?

Re: Windows Sound Help
Goto Control-Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices and make sure output is set to the correct place.

Re: Windows Sound Help
Tried going into Device-Manager, Uninstalling your Sound Card and rebooting?

Re: Windows Sound Help
The one strange thing I have noticed is within device manger >
Sound, video and game controllers > Audio Codecs >
There is no device usage : Should these not be mapped to a device ?

FECK I just compared it to my windows 2003 server and I think I know what the problem is :

Re: Windows Sound Help
I always recommend people don't turn system restore off! I used it myself the other day to revert back to normal after vista transformation pack screwed me over.

Hey I had exactly the same problem as you when I installed the K-Lite Codec Pack... but when I uninstalled it, the sound came back... Maybe you could try re-downloading your sound card driver...
You could try downloading a different codec pack... I use this one now.

Re: Windows Sound Help
House points and gold stars all round.
Its not quite sorted yet I'm downloading a few codec packs but dont think it'll help as the codecs that I have lost are generic microsoft ones we'll see how I get on

Re: Windows Sound Help
Sounds odd how you've lost the default codecs...?
