Vista - Windows Vista Sound Scheme

11-21-2007

Here's a challenge for all you whizzkids!!

Although the built in speakers in my laptop work perfectly - music, dvds,
videos, etc. - my Vista default sound scheme has stopped working. It was
working previously and I am at a loss to understand why it has stopped. I
have checked that the speakers are not muted, ensured that the levels are
properly set, checked that I have the most up to date driver, etc., etc.,
etc. None of the sounds work, including the start up, normal alerts and so
on. When I go to the sound scheme and test individual sounds they do not
play, however, if I open the individual sound files they will sound in media
player. I really am at a loss. I know there is an expert out there
somewhere who will know what to do. If you read this, I am grateful for your
help.

To quote the "Black Viper":
If you haven't yet rebooted, reboot now.
If you have rebooted, reboot again.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same problem and
I'm ready to pull my hair out.

1. Click Vista Start Circle > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Click the tab that reads "Sounds" > Look for -sounds schemes- and click on the drop down, click "Windows Default"
2. Plug speakers into power outlet
3. plug the right speaker plug into the computer in the right location (green cord with green plug-in)
