My PC is no longer playing any sounds from my speakers. It used to play just fine, but now I cannot hear sounds from any source.However, I can hear when I recieve email messages, I get pings. I have never experienced this before.

Start by checking your mixer settings.

Make sure that the volume for Wave Device, and CD audio are where you need them, and that mute is not checked.

I have seen drivers mess up sound card settings.
I used to have a card that I had to re-install the drivers everytime I installed new software.

The next step would be to re-install the sound card drivers.
I normally download the latest driver from the card mfg, and follow their instructions for installing the driver.

Alternetly, you can remove the sound card from device manager, re-boot, and allow Windows to re-install the sound card.

If you have any problems, please post a comment with specifics on your system.
