no sound whatsoever

I tried to play music on my windows media player yesterday and couldnt. a
little red x appeared to the left of the music file and it said," Windows
Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound
device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it
might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."
I went to the sounds and audio devices properties window to discover it says
that i have no audio device plugged in! If anyone can help me with this
problem, I would be very grateful.

Unless this has some hidden relevance to .NET, please post to a different
group.

Post your message to a group with "windows" in the description. They are at
the bottom of the dropdown list. This is a .Net programming newsgroup.

I'm putting together a C# .Net forms project on win2k. The application requires some sort of horn sound. I've never implemented any audio in .Net, so I'm not sure how best to accomplish this. It's an application that works with a wireless barcode scanner, in a warehouse environment. The user could be potentially 20 or 30 ft. from the PC. If the user scans something improperly, the app should sound a 'horn' to notify the user. I'm trying...

I'm adding a bit of sound to a simple game I've got going, and I want to have several sounds on at the same time, so I go looking to use the MCISendString commands and find they CRASH MY COMPUTER after moderate use. After a bit of searching the web for what I might be doing wrong I find the work around is to bring in the old MultiMedia ActiveX control from the .Com world and use it, so I added the three I need and no more crashes.....

I have an application that is designed for using with a bar code scanner. I want the user to know that the scan was complete and the data was entered, so I am playing a system sound after data entry. The data is being put into a text box, and a Return is sent after the data. I use the keypress event to capture the Return, and save the data. Then, I play the system sound, clear the text box, and set the focus back to the text box for the...
