Crap. Would that be a problem for the internet? I mean, I use cable, and reinstall Windows would mean to actually have to call Comcast again, since I had an issue with them.
Or does Windows do it automatically?
You see, I just ran the Driver Reset tool and I got no errors detected. I just also ran the set-up screen and went throught the diagnostic tool again for sound. Everything passed up the test.
However, everytime I try to play a song from windows media player it says Windows Media Player cannot...
Sure, Dell Inspiron 8600
Pentium M 1.6 Gig
512 MB RAM

Dell has a Recovery Cd, which is burnt once (did it two hours ago). It is only for Windows XP. However, it doesn't say anything about fixing audio drivers.
In case you don't realize, I posted here for help.
Go to the first page to see who began with the insults.
If you are trying to make you look like a ******* with that last post, you succeeded.
If you are not going to help, then don't bother posting.
I found the problem, but as i said I think it is probably way over the head from most of you. This doesn't have to do with nooby advices like "make sure your speakers are not muted" or "make sure Windows is set to use your audio drivers

Are you dumb or what? It is more like you who don't want to read what I've put.

Uninstall and Reinstall driver check (does it automatically)
Got the newest set of drivers from Dell.com
Restore to any date before the sound...
Nope. Nothing; you guys are useless. And then you have the nerve to call yourselves "Tech" forums. So far, you just have given nooby and stupid advice.
If I were you, I would close this whole webpage and dedicate myself to something easier, like learning how to tie my shoe laces for example.
Maybe, they are already smarter than you dude. Way to show your crappy self-steem. Anyways, they haven't really said anything useful, except for the guy before you.
Everybody treats newcomers like idiots.
Check the volume control to see if it is not muted.
wtf? I have already done the...
I am not doing a system restore at all. I am looking for fixing the problem. So far, I have run diagnostics tests, update the driver, both from the control panel and from their website but nothing happens. As I said, my audio is Sigmatel-C.
It happened while Windows XP was doing a hardrive...
I just came back from work, fired up my laptop and a blue screen came up with the Windows XP logo on the upper right side corner. It said something about volume of the disc being dirty and checking it. It did three steps. Then, the computer booted normally, but now I can't access the sound...
