I to have the same problem. Have vista home premium edition 32 bit. Realtek
HD Audio. Everything is listed as in working order the volume has been turned
up full blast yet there is no sound in Media Center, Player or even Windows
Sounds. Speakers are plugged in correctly and everything tested and
presumably in working order. Anyone else have a suggestion ? Thanks
