Windows XP Sound Issues

**Anilrgowda** · 08-Mar-2007, 09:24 PM

Question: Windows Media Player will play files ok.
I can browse to c:\windows\media and play the sound files within media player.
Videos within IE will play but dont have sound.
The Control Panel, Sound and Audio, Sounds Tab - When I click a sound to sample, the play button is greyed out.
The sound volume icon doesnt show on the task bar (I have unchecked and checked the properties).

I'm sure this has been covered, I just cant find a answer that works.

Perhaps try doing a repair of XP - doesn't take too long (about 40 mins) - you don't lose your files - and it fixes most tricky problems (some that you might not evan have discovered yet)

ask if you don't know how to do this
