my XP has SP3, and auto-checks for updates daily.
No Sound on internet [Solved]
The posted link has a potential solution. Check out the first post that suggests creating a new file and importing it to your registry. Have you recently installed any new programs (Magic Jack, etc.) or any major updates?
no, that link didn't help.
I have not installed anything new for a long while.
btw, I got around to check on the system sounds. nothing produced a sound. hmmm. iTunes and WMP both work, but not this?
Ugh. This is getting frustrating!
OK, I'll just throw in some ideas:
- Unlikely, but speaker cables put into the wrong hole can cause strange sound problems.
- My OS is not in English, so I don't know the exact names, but try going to "system configuration", "sounds and audio devices", "change sound profile-or-whatever-it-is-called" and set the profile to "Windows default". If your problem is caused by an auto-update, this should fix it.
- Maybe try restoring XP if one of the restoring points is not from too long ago. If it's a software/driver issue, it might help.
- If that doesn't help, repair XP with the Windows CD/DVD and if that doesn't work, I'd consider re-installing XP as a last resort.
that. before the move, the previous audio system consisted of a home theater system and a PC speaker system. while setting things back up at the new pad, I decided to not use the PC speakers anymore, therefore leaving one port open. so I plugged the cord in there from the A/V console. now that D28 mentioned it, I moved that cord into the port next to that one, and that solved the problem. at least for now.Quote:

thanks all for the help. I appreciate it!
Wait, what? How were you getting sound at all if your speakers were plugged into the wrong port?
I have no ****in idea..
it wasn't the wrong port, just not the right port.
