Very strange sound prob

Thanks for the response Doug, I checked the System volume & it's at the same
level as all the other volume indicators, level 38.

The Mute button at the bottom of the Windows Sounds slider does not a a very
tiny red crossed circle does it?

When you right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area of the Taskbar
and select Sounds have you checked that the sound notifications you want are
enabled, and have you tested them from there?

Hi Cal Bear, I have looked at what you suggested & all volumes are turned on,
when I go to control panel, click on configure & run the test I can hear the
sound. Still no sound from general windows sound though. Thanks for your
suggestions.

What is your audio adapter?

I would recommend a complete removal of your current audio drivers and any
utilities and a reinstall of the latest Vista drivers.
