I installed Windows Media Player 9 and now have NO sound. No sound at start up or for any files. I have 2 other programs capable of playing audio and video and they don't have sound. Sound options don't have any sound for windows sound preview. System acts as if it is playing, including the display during songs.

If it still doesn't work, unscrew the screws take it out and put it back in. If it still doesn't work, it's most likely time to buy a new sound card.
