re: No Sound Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at 6:20 am Posted by Spexx (1951 messages posted) Wot? No Windows Audio Service listed? That looks to be the problem. First try looking for the registry entry for this, using regedit HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AudioSrv If that isn't there, it will need to be recreated (I can give you a link to a .reg file to restore it if needed) so please post back with what you find in that registry key. Cheers. Spexx. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: No Sound Thursday, July 3, 2008 at 3:23 am Posted by Brandon L.

The right keys are there but it's the contents of them that are more important. If you right-click on the AudioSrv key, choose Export and save that key to a .reg file, then open it with Notepad it should look very much like this:- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AudioSrv] "DependOnService"=hex(7):50,00,6c,00,75,00,67,00,50,00,6c,00,61,00,79,00,00,00,\ 52,00,70,00,63,00,53,00,73,00,00,00,00,00 "Description"="Manages audio devices for Windows-based programs.
