Everything used to work until three days ago. Now MP4 files and Internet sound has stopped having any sound.
I have updated everything (Firefox, Flash, Java) my Media Player Classic settings
are still OK. I don't know what else to try.
First check if your hardware is working - load a live cd like knoppix and try your
audio.
Knoppix is a live cd, copy it from internet the iso and put it on a cd. Once done
you'll have a loading CD - if you start it from your CD drive - find the boot menu
and run it from the CD. Once completely loaded try any sound option - and you'll
know if your hardware is working ! So it's your windows sound that not working or more likely your sound driver that failed or got disconected.
