***HIJACK***
Sorry Gareth but I too am having sound issues on my Laptop... Was working perfectly but I did something ages ago and really cant figure out how to get it working, I have no sound whatsoever, except warning beeps when I delete emails on aol, which sound like some kind os MS DOS type basic beeps

....
If I opens sounds and devices, it shows "no audio device" .. But if I go to devices in sound options, and select all the different options they are "all working properly"
I have tried reinstalling drivers which came with PC to no avail..
