hi, you guys seem good at this so am asking here. For the past few days my computer has had problems with it's sound. I cant listen to music or hear sound from videos on it. When ever i restart my computer i will temporarily have my sound back, but then after a few minutes it loses the sound. i can still get basic beeping noises if i do something like hitting three keys at the same time though. Anybody know what the deal is?

OS: Windows XP?? right click on my computer, and go to properties. click on the hardware tab, then device manager. Any red question marks or yellow exclamation points? larry

yes, in sound there is a yellow mark new to Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer

When i click on it and go into its properties there is a message saying "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
