I thought service packs were supposed to help?

What was the point of installing it if it messes up your sound? It was working fine before I installed service pack 2 and now I have no sound and your stupid fix program did nothing but waste more of my time. Why did it mess my sound up, and is there anyway to fix this now?

Try updating the sound drivers for your sound card. Realtek is here:

Realtek

Assuming you have realtek, you'll have a red speaker icon in your systray. Opening the sound tab from dxdiag should also show what sound card/type you have.

Install the drivers, reboot, let Vista install its own driver, then re-run the installation, reboot again and see if sound has come back.

You may have to go through your computer manufacturer's site to update the proper driver. Ie: acer,Hp etc.

Do you by chance use a headset? I had this problem, and all it took to fix was going into the sound mixer options and setting the headset sound to default.

For security reasons returning to a lower service pack is the poor choice. Try to solve the issue and keep SP2. It has to lie in the sound drivers or the settings for the sound card.

Re: being slow after SP2 was installed well probably things needed updating to match? Try some system maintenance too.

What is the message about your sound driver in device manager?,

is it "This driver working properly"?
