Hello. I have just used system restore on Win XP and the sound has just disappeared. I tried undoing the system restore but I still can't get it back These are some THINGS I've noticed...

- When I try playing music the VOLUME control icon in the TASK bar momentarily flashes a red circle with a red line across it, but only the first TIME.

- I used to see a 'What U Hear' option when recording sound with Creative MediaSource Player, but it has disappeared and I see a Record Master option that does the same THING.

- I can record sound through my PC and play it back (i can see the soudwaves) but I don't hear anything.

I have a Creative SoundBlaster Live! card. I have never had this problem before. I have checked all connections, settings and audio driver but can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly apreciated. ThanksRestart pc.........do you hear the start up wav files.....


The windows start up tune.Hi. No I don't...Download & install the latest drivers for your soundcard from the manufacturer's website.
