I had the same problem soon after I got my pc.
This is stating the bleedin’ obvious and you’ve probably checked it already,but have you accidentally applied the mute button on that task-bar thing at the bottom of the screen ?
That’s what I’d done.D’Oh !!

Vista as you may know, walks down a very narrow path of what hardware and drivers it will work and play with. It takes no prisoners with hardware and drivers.

You may have already done this but see if the hardware for your computer is really “Vista compatible”. It is a big deal unfortunately.

Make sure it isn’t a silly coincidence. Example, speaker or headphone failure. Also, as you may know, some speakers and headphones (like USB headphones) require their own Vista compatible drivers. Also check to make sure the sound device hasn’t suffered a hardware failure.

Some time with Google-fu in the knowledge base may help you.

If all that fails do a roll-back to a previous date (going back to SP1) and see if your sound reappears.
