I'm curious about this: Yesterday, no sound. Windows built-in trouble shooter found no problem. Rebooting fixed whatever it was that was preventing sound. Any idea(s) as to what may have caused this anomalous behvior?

I might be able to give you some idea, if it was windows sounds all together, sounds like a driver just didn't load for some reason or another.

Odds are any specific diagnosis will not happen.
You could look over the application logs to see if something froze at the time you experienced the problem.

...that's about it though.

Odds are firebird is right.

Thanks, that is the type of input I was seeking, and is why I started out by saying that I was curious about the incident. I was not, nor am I, overly concerned, even though I've never encountered such a problem in over twenty years of computing, just puzzled bu it.

We won't, however, discuss the fact that I am always puzzled....

meareck my motherboard came with it's own audio card. In the bios it allows you to adjust the method of output for the front panel. It defaults to a different codec than the rear panel plugs. Is it possible you are dealing with a similar issue?

is there any chance you could click on my sig and follow those instructions? You most likely don't have any dump files, but a look at your system event and error logs might shed some light on what's going on.
