The sound on my computer system suddenly stopped working. I cannot hear anything when I plug headphones directly into my CPU, so it is an internal problem. I checked devise manager and sound programming but nothing is wrong. Everything looks to be working. Any suggestions.
I have Gateway Pentium IV, Soundblaster card, Windows XP, DSL.
I download a lot of sound and video off of the internet. Usually play through Windows Media Player, but I recently downloaded MusicMatchBox system to check it out. It worked ok for the first few days. I just have no idea why my sound would suddenly quit.
Help is greatly appreciated.

The CPU is an abbreviation for the Central Processing Unit. Soundcard or PC would be a better term.
I suggest you:
- Uninstall soundcard drivers
- Either update or reinstall previous soundcard drivers.
- Replace soundcard (If the two options described above fail)
You can also run a DX diagnostic.
(Windows XP)
Go to:
- Start
- Run
- Type DXdiag
- Go to the soundtab and the run the tests. See if any errors occur.
