Running XP Professional and the sound is muted. In the control panel in Sounds and Audio DevicesVolume the mute box is checked and will not clear. Is there a registry setting that is causing this or can this be set elsewhere?

I am getting no sound from my computer.I can't hear videos or any of the normal sounds the computer makes.I've been into the control panel and checked everythingin the sounds and audio device sections...everything seems to be on the right setting...The speakers are wired correctly..and the speaker light is on. I was getting some sounds a few days ago...
but now it isn't working at all
I just got a new computer with an AMD Duron processor, 512 M RAM and Windows XP. Only problem is I've got no audio. I've checked BIOS and sound is enabled but Windows doesn't seem to recognize that the speakers are hooked up. When I tried to play system sounds from the Control Panel, I got an error message that said cannot play sound, your sound card may be in use. The computer was a gift that was bought used and the shop didn't have any documentation with the system. I think this might be a driver issue but I'm not sure how to find out which driver to try.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just re-installed XP SP2 on my laptop. Everything seems to be okay except that the system does not allow me to unmute the mic. I've already installed the audio and CD drivers for the system, as well as the display drivers. The system has mic but it does not allow me to uncheck it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedFor some strange reason, my volume keeps getting muted. When I open the VOLUME CONTROL, the MUTE ALL box is checked, so I uncheck it. Then, a little while later it happens again. This had been going on for about a week now and it's very frustrating. Especially when you're in the middle of a game or spomething and all of a sudden, theres no sound.

I have a TV tuner card and a program called TVR installed for watching TV. Ever since Audigy is installed when I turn on the TVR progrm the Line-in on volume control panel gets muted. I de-selected the Mute to enable Line-in. OK, it worked. Every time I restart the PC and if I run TVR I have to de-select the Mute button again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a lot of trouble just in the last few days. I have a VAIO Laptop (model number is in my info) running Windows XP with SP2. I come home and get the start up screen for Windows XP (the running time meter on the bottom) that stays there for about 5 minutes. I shut it off, rebooted and it was an extended time, but it finally went. Upon the login screen, I log in and the melody it makes for logging on is cut halfway through, as if someone yanked the cord on speakers. Everything is running extremely slow. When I try to actually do anything, the program pretty much becomes non-responsive. Sometimes tryin to End Program on the non-responsive program will not work. The info box asking to send info over the internet appears, however teh program is still running. McAfee virus scanned, first time brought up 11 or 12 items, however I had to go and ended the scan, I dont know if it deleted/quarantined the items or not, but the next time I came home and tried it only found 1 item, which was just a cookie. Also, the scan took upwards of 3-4 hours...Also, my CPU Usage is idling and roaming (currently) around 85-100% which I know is bad. Can't really tell which Process is causing all the usage. Not even running any programs, it is hovering up in those high numbers. The 100% is not a peak either, it stays up there for a while.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I push the mute button on the keyboard it does not turn off the volume but it does do the red no sound line. I also can't turn the volume up or down from keyboard. When I go to sound control and manually adjust by clicking mute and dragging my volume up and dopwn on master control that does not work either. Theu opnly way I can adjust sound or mute is to manually scroll the wave sound or mute wave sound with my mouse. help-master control sound does not have any master control and neither does the keyboard express volume/mute feature

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis past week my laptop started going nuts and I think I may have picked up a virus. Here's what is happening:The system mute check box on the master volume control toggles mute on and off constantly. Input from me has no effect whatsoever. Task manager shows no suspect operations that I can see and nothing seems to help in stopping it from happening. Symantec AV removed a trojan, but that did not stop the madness.My comp is a Toshiba U205-5002 running a fully updated version of WinXP SP2.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently started going to a few classes at my local Community Colege and a class on computer literacy is giving away copies of Windows XP Pro. All interested students sign a EULA and we were given a copy on cd with key code.Most of the other students used it to upgrade from prior os. I was told it is a full copy, so I allowed a clean install with it formating my hard drive to NTFS from the old fat32.Anyway, everytime I use Internet Explorer it gives error code " duplicate memory at line 945.
Abort, retry, Ignore?" No mater what I hit it eithr repeats or says " Windows Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and will now close" and gives option to send error report.So, I tried installing Service Pack 2 from a cd that I had ordered from Microsoft. I got the following error "Service Pack 2 cannot update a checked(debug) system with a a free(retail) version of service pack2 or vice versa"Is there anything I could do to straighten this out? What is a checked(debug) system anyway?I did download a debug version of service pack 2 but Internet explorer still gives errors. Auto Update will download updates, but they all FAIL. Anything I can do? I would like to know what debug system is and if it is even worth having.
I am using Acer TravelMate 5720. Till yesterday everything was working fine. But from today when i close the laptop lid the system does not goes into standby. i checked the settings in Power options. There i kept it to standby option only.Me using XP with SP2.

I've changed the boot order and attempted to boot from WinXP Home CD. It displays the "Setup is checking your configuration" message, then nada. The user said that it was running fine yesterday, but she booted this a.m. and received this message. She had a non-bootable floppy and a non-bootable CD in, but I've not seen that to cause this problem. Just a coincidence? HD failure the real culprit?

I installed Windows XP Professional on my unit and then ran the MsConfig.exe file, to check which processes / applications got loaded at Start-Up. The list is too big and quite difficult to figure out as to which items are good and which are useless.
I have created a WordPad file, wherein image files of Screens have been pasted. The two files are
MSConfig (Start-up items), Win 98 Pro, File 1.rtf 5,689,450
MSConfig (Start-up items), Win 98 Pro, File 2.rtf 4,734,281 ....

Back about three weeks ago, in an effort to speed up my start-up on my computer, I ran Cleaner. It identified all the start up things. I went through one by one and disabled those that I had checked on a registry database. Unfortunately one of the first I disable was USERINIT.EXE.Now, as some of you may know, I can't login to my computer! I can power on, and try to log in, the windows attempts to load my preferences, and then logs out. Over the past several weeks, I have tried in vain to get some helpful suggestions on how to remedy the situation, but obviously my range of knowledge in dealing with this type of problem isn't strong enough to figure it all out. It was suggested by a friend that I just do a ffr, but quite frankly, I see that as a last ditch effort. I have files on the computer, that I really don't want to lose. And it seems that as I know what the problem is....there must be someway to fix it without going to the extreme. As my computer is 3-4 yrs old, my windows CD was only for SP1, and I don't think that would help....although I don't really know.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with my task bar it disappears. This only seems to happen when I leave the PC alone for a while, never while I'm using it. I've tried the normal tricks (running 'explorer.exe', auto-hiding and un auto-hiding etc.)I've got Spyware Doctor running, have CCcleaner running on startup checking registry and redundant files. I can get the taskbar back by restarting PC, but that's a bit of a pain, if you could help, that would be great.
