| 700681 | 2008-08-27 00:06:00 | I've just finished loading up a fresh XP PRO on my PC and I've lnstalled SP3. All was going well until I tried to load adsubtract pro. It came up with an error BUG when I first tried to run it so I deceided it would be best to uninstall it. Did this and rebooted however now my sound has completely gone. Before I load Adsubtract Pro I made a restore point. So I thought I'd simply reload the original from there. All went well but, you've guessed it - STILL NO SOUND! I've checked all the places I can think of through windows and everywhere says that the volume is up. I set the windows sound effects to DEFAULT but when I press the little arrow to play say 'windows closing' - no sound. I don't get the windows load up music or the close down music. When I dial up - there's no modem sound any more either..... Can anyone tell me where I can look to find the switch to turn it back on? |

| 700682 | 2008-08-27 00:12:00 | you probably have HD digital or ac97 sound chip that require the MS UUA HD driver...sp3 didnt ship with it and is known to stop sound once installed.... Wait a mo, go see if I can find it... Edit---Here ya go! (boredsysadm.blogspot.com) |

| 700683 | 2008-08-27 00:32:00 | Sound seemed to work fine after I'd finished installing SP3 and even went better when I installed the Realtek driver ... It's only stopped this morning after i tried to install Adsubtract - before that it was going really well. Maybe the installation/removal changed a setting in the registry that System Restore did not alter? Any thoughts??? |

| 700684 | 2008-08-27 00:41:00 | Oops, sick, didnt read your post correctly.... so you did an uninstall, sound failed, then system restore, sound fail?... Have you checked Adsutract web-site for known issues or forum? |

| 700685 | 2008-08-27 01:00:00 | Anyway, I've downloaded & installed the file you mention - changing the reg value back & fwd as detailed - still no sound? I'll check to see if adsubtract website can help.... Any other ideas? |

| 700686 | 2008-08-27 04:19:00 | Go to control panel>sounds>Audio Tab and check what is listed as default sound device... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 700687 | 2008-08-27 04:22:00 | Yup if that modem is a fax/voice modem, its probably the default sound device | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
