OK try this,,,, the Sound in Control Panel is mmsys.cpl located in
C:\Windows\System32

Rename that one to mmsysZ.cpl

Search for another copy and copy and paste it into the System32 folder
THEN click on it and see if it runs OK... if so great... if not delete it
and
rename the other one back by removing the Z. Let me know if it works,
hangs as the other one or whatever.

To make it simple login in as Admin below and then 1st try to run the
cpl file (double click on it) if it locks up then do the renaming as before.

Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward.
First, open an elevated command prompt by typing
cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking
the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the
Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator .
Then enter this command and press Enter:
Net user administrator /active:yes

From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an
option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts
you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware
that it won't have a password yet, so it's a good idea to set a
password for it.

If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this
command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter:
Net user administrator /active:no

You need to right click on file, Properties and give yourself access
privileges to the file.

Do you have any other sound programs running? Check Task Manager
and close all you can,,,, temporarily stop your Anti-virus.
