Struggling with this one.
What I have done;
Check the Device manage – no errors
Uninstalled the Realtek sound chip and installed the lastest drivers for this.
Have Check the BIOS – sound is enabled
The windows audio service is enabled to automatic within services.msc.
Even when I install a separate sound card I still have this problem.
This problem has occured twice now – when I have recoverd the computer. Oldish computer with recovery with service pacl 1(XP) – the sound is fine then and no problems, the sound suddenly stops when the full version of service pack 2 is installed from the microsoft update.
Obviously need SP2.
Any clues out there?
