No sound. Yellow exclamation by" Windows sound system".

After downloading "DirectX 9.0" I lost all sound .Volume icon disappered from taskbar and all attempt to find windows to adjust volume are futile. In "Sounds and Multimedia properties" box, all buttons are unavailable. There is a yellow exclamation next to "Windows Sound System" in "system properties window". I've uninstalled and installed almost everthing imaginabe but I still have no sound. I also notice little red mark by "Audio Compression Codecs" and everthing listed under it. Please help. What do I do? And please be detailed as I have tried everything I know. Thank You

Hi there

I've got the same problem for my notebook 2 weeks back
after installing that.

Tried re-installing Win XP & sound driver, it didn't work
too.

Sent it back to service centre, they got the whole
motherboard changed. Told me its hardware errors!

Well, its amazing how things turn out!

You can try checking the followings:

a. Re-install the soundcard driver.
b. Windows repair.
c. Test the soundcard with another PC.

Before you do anything, backup your data first.

Hope it works for you. Good Luck!
