I am running Vista SP2, I HAD sound for about 2 weeks, then it just stopped. I have tried everything mentioned in other threads about sound problems, and have had no luck. This includes checking to make sure my sound output is stereo, making sure I run the Vista sound Driver, but when I select it, nothing happens, then when I try to slect it again, the option is not there. Looking at the waverror.log and errors.log files, it appears something is not loading, correctly. I will post these 2 files at the end. Basically, I know windows is a joke, but is what I use, and am "comfortable" with.

As for sound hardware, I have onbaord sound, with Reaktek AC97 Drivers, and the Realtek HD drivers. According to the sound setting in windows I am set at 16 bit, 2 channel, 44100 mhz sampling rate. This does not show up in the VO waverror.log though. Anyway, I will post the files, and see if anyone has a clue, because I don't.

Thanks in advance.
