I added some program or other and now at startup sound is not enabled. When I enable it, the sound keys on my keyboard don't work at all except mute. I tried reinstalling the keyboard software but it wont install stating I already have the latest version so I uninstalled and reinstalled. I've also jut uninstalled some software to see if that was the culprit. I can't remember where the repair windows is and will be rebooting now to se if anything I did helped and look for it then. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I rebooted and it didn't help. Checked the event log 2 of which said:
The Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
and
The Multimedia Class Scheduler service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.'
Can't quite figure out what screwed this up so I can't figure out how to fix it. Again, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I tried this and it didn't help however the sound icon was immediately activated. Added new drivers and there's no difference. I think I'll try to uninstall it completely and reinstall. The biggest issue now (so far) is the volume keys don't work and I use them all the time. Will reboot first...

Nope, not working yet....

Guess I never updated this. Went to services and changed the order of startup services and it's fixed now. Thanks for the responses.
