No sound anymore?

I started a film and I had no sound, weird. Then I checked the Sounds and Audio Devices, and I get following window:

A few days ago it still worked fine. Even when I start Simon the Sorceror, I get a window that there was no sound device found, thus not starting the game. I haven't touched anything, perhaps my onboard sound has died? The device manager still shows it as working properly.

I've had this problem before now. I think I fixed it by rebooting into safe mode, uninstalling the sound card drivers completely, then restarting into Windows and letting it detect the device and install it again. Maybe download the latest version of the sound drivers first so you have the latest.

Hope that works.

How strange! Never had that happen before...

The reinstall worked. Even with no reboot.

That's good.
