        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 know there is an expert out there somewhere who will know what to do.

        Its never been there before, and now it its. To make matters more interesting, it has an exclamation mark on it. When I click it, it says check for new definitions.  I do, it comes up with nothing, but the exclamation point stays..

        previously there was a link on this topic, but it was not helpful to me. 
 
I want to remove the windows start up sound for my vista. even if my computer's sound is off before I shut down my computer, it makes a big noise when I start up. 
 
I went to control panel/ sound and I unchecked the box next to "play windows startup sound" but this was not helpful. still I hear the same noise when I start my computer.

        This worked for me before but I messed it up. I used to be able to record the sound coming from my computer and play it to my microphone right away as it goes. Meaning when I record something, it would record whatever is playing on the computer. But I forgot how to make that setting.

        I just upgraded to Vista U x64 and am having sound problems. I have a prelude x-fi sound card but the sound coming out of it is extremely low. I have maxed out every thing I can max (control panel sound, creative panel) and the sound level is whisper quiet. I have also upgraded all my drivers except the prelude's, I would but their website isn't offering those drivers at the moment. But the drivers supplied with the card are vista certified so I should get something. But my mobo, etc is all updated. I have been searching for a solution for two days to no avail.

        I Was using the Sony Sound Forge 8 in a HP laptop with XP Pro and the program was working really good,but I had a problem with the HP Laptop and I have to run and bought a new computer,as a computer technician,the warehouses make me good prices in computer parts and computers,so I bought an Acer Aspire 4520 with the VISTA OS and now I dont know if it is the computer or the Vista that make the sound output real bad like when you are listening to an old cassette machine,it start slow and after a while you start listening acceptable..I don't know if it is syncronization beetween the data that is in the hard disk and the program or it's that I need a driver,I download the Realtek audio driver just in case,and installed but I still have the problem..But if I play any music in iTunes it sounds real good.

        I have just installed Vista Business 64 bit. I am noticing something that I had not had with Vista Home Premium. Some of the program listings when I click START/ALL PROGRAMS are highlighted in Yellow. I don't notice any significant pattern to this, but some are highlighted...some are not

        I have a Vista Business 32bit OS and am hving trouble solving the famous 'no- sound' mystery. I tried the simplest way of solving it: 
1. Downloaded the Realtek AC'97 driver (as guided by some other forum: No sound with Windows Vista)
 
2. Tried installing by running up 'setup.exe'.
 
3. All was well till Vista came up with this message: 'Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software' and had two options:- Don't install this driver software. install this driver anyway
 
I tried using the 2nd option - nothing happened and the same message popped up. The 1st option obviously quit the installation process. What do I do? It is frustrating to have a computer without sound and nothing to be done about it.

        I installed Photoshop CS3 today on Vista x64 Ultimate and gave it whizz to see if it worked ok - which it did - but i noticed that the start menu headings for the Photoshop programs are highlighted in yellow. Here's a screen grab: 
 
The thing is, when i right-click on the yellow highlights to send the Photoshop icon to my desktop as a shortcut, i get no menu just the Aero mouse cursor rotating for a split-second and then the right-click doesn't work at all nor the shut-down button doesn't work! Now, i got the program off a mate who assured me it was from an original disc, but now i'm not too sure as it has all the hallmarks of a copy with a dodgy attachment - and no, i didn't see the disc in question as i just transfered the data from a folder on his drive onto a USB pen.

        I often get this short hissing noise when I either open/close/minimize/maximize a window or pass the cursor over the sidebar. As far as I can tell, this only happens when the sidebar is activated. how I can get rid of this sound without having to 
close the sidebar?

        my computer is a hp pavilion a1230n and when i upgraded it to windows vista, the sound card suddenly stopped working! i looked around, and my sound card doesn't seem to have any drivers for windows vista. i looked at the model, and i think this is it :integrated ati radeon xpress 200. my device manager says no device has been installed, but it's there because it was working with windows xp. i was wondering if there's any way i could update it or something.

        I recently did a system re-build, as per my specs. I've been having awful crackling and sound stutters which sometimes appear to be causing lag spikes in games too. (Having said that, I get it even when doing simple taks like listening to music or watching movies on iTunes/Windows Media Player.) I've done all the usual things like updating to the latest BIOS/drivers, but still it won't go away. I've moved the sound card to another PCI slot and checked there's no IRQ conflicts too...

        What's the quickest route to take for a smudged/blurry Vista sticker? My wife uses a stand for her laptop and the rubber pads have made the serial key unreadable. I'm just not sure if my best start point is the laptop manufacturer or Microsoft. Anybody else been through this situation that may have a few tips?

        I was wondering if someone could help me.  I can't figure out how to make my color scheme stay in any particular setting.  IE. I use WMP classic and it (I think) is not compatible with Windows Aero color scheme, so it changes automatically from Aero to Basic, then back to Aero when WMPC is closed.
 
That is not the problem, my problem is that I would like to just put the scheme back to Window Vista Basic, thus avoiding the need to change back and forth all the time.  Everytime I reboot the scheme comes back as Aero.    
 
This seems so simple, just select desired scheme, apply then once I logout or reboot those settings should save.

        I have a Hp Pavillion computer with windows vista home premium and somehow I could not get Windows Aero to work. When I first had this computer, I had Windows Aero running with all the translucent effects.So I do know that my computer is compliant with windows aero but its somehow disabled. My computer automatically changed to windows vista basic.

        My Desktop PC was working fine yesterday, but today there is no sound at all from the speakers. I opened Device Manager and found everything normal: there was no yellow questions marks beside the Sound item. The speaker cables are also firmly connected to the PC. I've ran AVG, SpyBot & Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware to scan for virus, etc, but found none.

        I bought a new laptop with vista home premium 32, she set it up as a standard user an now it's impossible to install anything onto computer because the system is still asking for admin. password and even if we know that one (well there haven't been password set up) in that dialog box it's nowhere to write it. How we can make her account changed to administrator?
Only one way I came up with is to use recovery disk set it up differently, well not sure about that and don't fancy it much.

        I installed the service pack 1 and I don't have sound now. I have tried reinstalling my drivers, and all that other mumbo-jumbo from the microsoft page, but I still don't have sound. 
 
I have vista home premium, running on an Acer aspire t180. Does anyone know what I can do, or where I can go to solve this problem? According to my computer, my speakers are working....there is just NO SOUND!

        just installed Vista HP 64 bit and it went pretty good, for the most part. I am dual booting w/XP Pro 32 bit, on seperate hard drives. I'm pretty impressed so far. I do have one major problem - no sound at all. Here's my hardware setup: asus p5q pro, Intel c2d e8400, saphire radeon 4850, auzentech x-fi prelude, logitech z-5500, seagate 320gb sata(XP Pro), seagate 640gb sata(vista). soundcard & spkrs. work great in XP. I went to auzen website & d/l latest drivers, drilled down thru all the vista options & menus I could find, checked device mngr.
