I recently formatted my HDD and re-installed Xp pro.
I have a Sub + 2 PC Speakers.
I just realised, as movies and games Sound works, that there is no sound from the PC itself.
I went to change the Mail Notification Sound to what i previously had, and the Small Play Arrow is greyed out(disabled).

I can view, but cannot hear any YouTube sounds, yet game sounds are fine.

I have no Exclamation marks in any components in Device Manager. All drivers have been installed for the MO, as the Sound is an onboard card.
What else could it be to gain sound ?
