    System Sounds randomly stops playing


    Hi,

    In Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64, a few days ago I noticed that the startup sound did not play. I then realized that none of the system sounds are playing (btw, all non-system sounds were playing, so I don't think it is a driver issue). However, after randomly pressing on a program which prompted UAC, I realized that it played and other system sounds played. Not long after, they would not play when they were supposed to.

    Why is this happening?

    Thanks

    If you click the speaker icon and look at the different sound options are the system sounds muted?

Hi, I've got a weird one: I hooked the HDMI from the PC to the television and get great picture, but the sound is weird. I get system "dings" and whatnot, but I don't get the audio from games or YouTube videos. I've already tried setting the default audio device to the HDMI port, but I get...
I don't know what caused this; the sounds(in my headset) suddenly stop then resume again. I'm sure that it isn't caused by lag or other internet related issues, I'm using the same headset after my computer has been replaced entirely and my past OS is WinXP. But my speaker works fine and doesn't...
