Greetings all,
I just bumped into a weird and annoying issue.
A blackout happened in the area where I live so the computer shut down suddenly, after I turned it on again and logged into Windows (xp-pro-sp2), sound was gone!
I've checked all the drivers/devices and everything is running properly, however the sound itself, and volume icon/control were gone, and even through the control panels "Sound and Audio Devices" I can't edit or change anything...
I've entered BIOS and Audio devices were enabled, so it's not there.
I've tried uninstalling the sound driver, restarting, reinstalling, but didn't fix it... it gave me
"Please go to the control panel to install and configure system components."
Went into add/remove style of installing programs, did it.. but still the sound didn't return.
DXDiag Showed "No soundcard detected" :S so I'm lost.
Ps- i'm using a motherboard built in soundcard >_<
So I dunno what exactly to do, the 'system devices' shows no errors with the devices, and I've tried what I mentioned...
Any other ideas? (Other than system restore or formating T_T)
Thanks in advance.
