Help! What happened to my sound?!?!

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Golf4Life

My sound has always worked but a few days ago I tried to open up winamp and listen to some music but it wasnt working. I havent been able to figure out why. I have checked my sound settings on under Accessories->Entertainment->Volume control. Only Video and Line-in were muted. I have Intel 82801AA (integrated) sound, and I am running XP Pro. I have tried multiple speakers to see if that was the problem and that wasnt it either. Please help.

Ya know whats funny the EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday and all i did to fix it was restart my computer. lol it was with winamp too! lol

i have restarted my comp mulitple times. I have recently installed the new Winamp, but I was able to listen to songs with it.

Hmmm, winamp seems to be the cause of this So if you can why not just use music jukebox? Worth a shot if it means your sound wont die on you....

Go to start, Run, and type in dxdiag to open the Direct X Diagnostic tool. Run the tests available in Sound 1, Sound 2 and Music.

But it may just be your speakers/headphones are busted. Try jacking them into something else (A stereo, walkman, whatever).

Do you have a sound card or onboard sound?



Posted by: Golf4Life

I went into DirectX and went under the music tab. There is a list of ports I can test. I was able to get sound out of the Microsoft MIDI Mapper [Emulated] and Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth [emulated]. None of the others worked. Then I went into Control Panel and looked at my sound levels and noticed my Wave all the way at the bottom. That was the problem. Thanks alot!

Methinks that that's how winamp controls its volume.
