Ok. This is very odd. Yesterday I noticed the sound on my PC wasn't working. If I turned the nob to the max I could hear that static sound. Ya know, cause the speakers are set too high. Anyway, I checked to see if my settings were on mute. None were. I performed a system restore to the day before to see if that might do something. It did. The sound came back. What the hell? What would happen in 24 hours or so to cause this. So today I was listening to a football game online and just now I came back to check some things out. No sound again. It's not working. I don't understand this. What the hell could I possibly do to fix this cause I'm stumped. Thanks.
