I've developed a problem I hope someone can help me with. My sound for the pc itself stopped working. I opened my sounds and Audio Device Properties and under volume everything is grayed out. It says there is no Audio Device. Clicked sounds none work. Clicked Voice it is grayed out clicked test hardware it says none is working. Device manager has no exclamation marks and it says it can not protect my pc to do a restore to restart and try again I did three times didn't help. My sound works fine on my DVD but it makes no sound when I boot up shut down or when mail comes in. My program is XP HOME everything is updated. If you need other info let me know please. Help!
