yet another no sound thread
hi, i've had win7 pro running for over a month with very few problems, but for the last few days i haven't had any sound. i have a lenovo thinkpad t61 - my speakers are soundMAX integrated digital HD audio, and my spdif interface is soundMAX integrated HD audio as well. the speakers are set as a default device, the spdif interface is not. the drivers are up to date, as far as i can tell.
i don't get any sound through any applications, and i've run the troubleshooter to no avail.
when i click the volume icon in the lower left, i get the slider bars and when i move them i can see the green level meter move, indicating that i should be hearing some sort of sound.
this has happened occasionally before, but it seems to go away if i restart. not this time, though.
i think this might have something to do with a recent batch of windows updates, as i can't think of anything else that's changed on my laptop in the past few weeks. any ideas as to what could be causing this and how i can fix it?
