The SW plugin is not responsible for "lost" sound.
This is an OS/drivers issue.
Steps to fix it:
1) reboot
2) if that's not enough, uninstall all the crappy programs you may have and reboot.
3) if that's not enough, reinstall the audio drivers and reboot.
4) it that's not enough, reinstall DirectX (DirectSound is a component of DirectX) and reboot.

1.log off from your windows account(many times it's enough)
2.reboot your pc/laptop
3.unplugged your pc and if you have a laptop you must also remove a battery, hehe.
4.if your problems didn't disappear then restore you comp from a system image backup.
My comp is clean, monthly controlled for malware, spyware etc. And free of software that love making problems(toolbars, codec packs etc.). So my steps are ok with me :)

Most of the users have a MESSED UP computer.
Every day they install and uninstall all kind of crap.
So for them only the above steps work.
p.s.
I did never use System Restore.
It's disabled on all my computers from the very first day.
Certain viruses and trojans use the system restore points to multiply and hide themselves.
The antivirus programs cannot scan the system restore points.
So you are doomed!
System restore is useful for lazy and "not very smart" people.

Re: No Sound
Yes, you are right. The steps are good just for people who have clean PC. That's why I mentioned that my comp is problematic software free.Remus wrote:Your steps might work for a CLEAN computer only.freekarol wrote:I would use these steps:

I used the built-in system restore point just several times. And well, I was not safisfied with it. That's why I use an image system backup made by a backup software like Acronis Home True Image or Macrium Reflect. Of course, the backups must be viruses free.
