Hello dmahar,

All Sound functions work normally.(Except start up chime)

Try un-checking the Startup Sounds box and checking it again.

Hello Jav,

I Have booted up in safe mode. (in order to get bootlog) this did not fix my problem.

I ran sfc /scannow as directed.

This did not solve my problem

Hi,
It might has to do something with the User Profile
Try to Create a New Windows Profile (Administrator) test it in that account see whether it works there

Hope this helps

Try un-checking the Startup Sounds box and checking it again.

I unchecked the "Play Windows startup sound" and rebooted,
Then re checked the "Play Windows startup sound" and rebooted.


This did not solve my problem

I Created a new (administer) account as suggested, and rebooted.
Dingaling! at the log in menu. Nice work Jack Sparrow!

But Alas, I deleted the new account and the guest account, it inadvertantly created, and rebooted.

Without the Log in screen prompt. again I am deprived or the start up jingle.

I shall modify my account removing my nick. create a new one with the understanding that I shall have to create new shortcuts, screen background ect. ect. ect. And report back soon.

Single admin login may not yet be working as desighned. BRB

Stay tuned....

ohh..
As always with Windows...

We look into Windows integrity and registry settings when creating new account fixes it...

 

[Sipple]

OK, So yeah a new account does the trick. When I log in without multiple accounts the bug is... worked around. This does not remove the troblems that created it and it shall rear its ugly head in the future. No one knows what caused it or how to prevent it from happening in the future. We can now work around it but have not found a fix.

Special thanks to Jonathan_King -The man cared enough to Call out the Dogs.

And You Dogs that inandated me with posts that drove the "work around" home.

Same Problem

My startup sound also does not play. I notice that my speaker icon in the taskbar doesn't appear for some time as other programs are still loading. Antivir, malwarebyte, sandboxie, and a few others load first. By the time the speaker icon appears, windows is well underway and fully loaded. I guess the speaker loaded too late so it missed it's cue. If you create other users, all those programs won't load so your sound will play. I have checked online and there doesn't seem to be anyway to load the sound driver earlier. I am running XP pro but the issue you are having is probably the same one.

Just try to find out how to load the sound driver earlier in the boot sequence.
