Thank you for your help. The exact same thing happened to me and disabling the ws-audio fixed everything. Thank you so much!

I went through all kinds of things, reinstalling Java and Flash and finally found one solution that worked. Go into your Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Device Manager / Sounds and delete your ATI driver. Restart your computer and it will find a proper one for you and everything will work ok again. It worked for me, hopefully it’ll work for you too.

I installed Windows 7 Professional on a Dell E521.
LIke everyone else, I have no sound.
Been trying a number of fixes, so far nothing works.
I had previously Windows XP pro on the same machine, but reformatted the C drive or “zeroed” it, then did a fresh Win 7 Pro install.
You think MIcrosoft would be aware of this problem by nw and be offering help for it.
From going to their website they are asking $49.00 to fix problems.
What a ripoff!

Same card Windows 7.

I found that by messing around with the playback devices and selecting/disabling defaults worked fine the first time I had this problem.

Now I have been doing the same thing over a period of days and still no sound.

I don’t know who’s to blame. Microsoft, Creative, Myself or the manufacturer of my comp.
