Did you recently install SP1? If so, you might try this:

Just looked in add remove prograns with updates ticked and there has been no sp1 installed recently or updated recently.

And im using XP Home version 2002 with SP2

Sorry, I looked at wrong OS. Will look up XP 2002.

I see that someone else is giving you a hand...which is a good thing...Are you absolutely sure that you don't have mute buttons checked on your volume control panel? When you open up Sound, Speech, and Audio devices do you see devices listed under the sound and audio tabs? I know that this sounds a little condescending but sometimes its simple things that cause problems...

You might try here:

Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck. Hope you get this straightened out.

Thanx to both of you for your help so far.

Douglas my device is showing in the audio tab and it says its workin properly too.

Bartster am goin to look there now.

will update soon

Just one more thing. Have there been any Windows updates installed having to do with audio?
They many times cause problems to appear out of nowhere.

Sorry again, that was supposed to be XP help page. Don't know what happened.

Thinking outside the box...Have you tried to restore back to an earlier time when everything worked? It's worth giving it a try...I'm running out of ideas outside of maybe re-installing SP2 from microsoft downloads...It's free and really doesn't take that much time...It helped me with my problem last week...

I agree on both counts, that would be worth a try.

Good Morning,

I don't know if you have resolved your problem or not but there may be a couple of more otions to try...First open up the link that Barster posted for you previously and run that script...It will tell you exactly what is on your system and drivers and other goodies. Once it is loaded, click on the sounds tab...Click on the Test button...It will run several sound options asking you whether you are able to hear it or not...Answer each one with Yes or No...At the end save the information to your desktop or some other place of your choice...It will be saved as a text file...You can post it here and I'd be glad to look it over for you.

Second, If you know someone (that you fully trust)...A family member, close friend, co-worker, IT department (company that you work for) or good neighbor you can ask for remote assistance by following the directions found in the help center...Start>Help and Support>Ask for remote assistance...It's included in XP...Free...and relative painless to set up...What it will do is allow the person that you trust access to your desktop where they can look thru your system and see if they can find anything wrong that you may have missed...If you contact microsoft for assistance this is what their techs will do but it may cost you $60.00.

I tried for quite some time last night to try and do things to my system to make it act like yours but I couldn't get mine to do what yours is doing. I won't be available to mess around in here today, but will check back in later this evening to see if anything has improved for you...

Good Luck,
Doug
