I have just noticed that all application / system soudns are not working. The
speakers work fine as I can play all sounds using WMP. When I check SOUND
devices is show Speakers as my default device and I can test them fine - I
hear the chimes. I can play movies etc and everthin is OK
The problem is that system / application sounds do not work. I use CP and
select SOUNDS and then try and play one of the system/application sounds and
nothing happens. I can play the associated WAV file with WMP its just that
all system / application sounds have stopped working - including inline
videos on IE
Speakers are Realtek High Definition Audio - on board sound.
Oh and before anybody suggests it - YES I have also updated the drivers and
stil the same result

I checked that option and it has not been enabled. It still sounds like the
software used by Vista to make the sound (?? SNDREC32 or similar) is not
working
