hey Rick,

I have already opened the mixer and am certain that it isn't muted. This
simply because there aren't any devices available. I used to have the option
to choose between my normal speakers and my headset, but there just isn't
anything to choose between.
The device manager also states that everything is installed correctly. I
haven't got any devices with a yellow mark on them. Also, when I check for
newer updates, vista states that I already have the best drivers available.
My bios also states that High def. sound is enabled.

I just simply can't understand how this problem can just occur from one day
on the other, since I haven't made any significant hardware nor software
modifications. Reinstalling vista on an other HD also didn't solve the
problem. I simply have no clue at all of the possible cause of this problem.

grtz
