| System Sounds Don't Play Today I noticed my system sounds no longer play. However I can go into the Windows\Media folder and play any of the system sounds directly in Media Player. I can also play mp3's with no problem and my tv tuner card has sound playback. I've tried manually setting up a couple sounds with their events and that does not work. I have tried the default scheme, Ultimate Extra Glass scheme, Ultimate Extras Pearl scheme and none of them work. No conflicts in device manager. Computer is a Dell XPS 410, sound card is "High Def Audio Device". Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Tom      |

| Re: System Sounds Don't Play It depends on when the installed apps were installed. If they have been on your system for a few months and you restore to a date a week ago, you lose nothing.
