The sound on my PC has thrown a wobbler,
Firstly I couldnt get any sound, went to the control panel and it had set itself to basic
Set it back to 5.1 and now I can get front sound if I play through media player/VLC
But cant get any sound from youtube, or any internet really

Any idea's

Cheers

But from your first post your not even getting 5.1 in media player?

If it is just Internet Explorer you can't get sound from and your running Vista ensure Internet Explorer sound output isn't muted.

Bottom right > Volume Icon > Mixer > Check to see Internet Explorer once opened is not muted by sound.

If this doesn't work then in Internet Explorer open up the "Tools" menu, select "Internet Options". Select the "Advanced Tab" at the top. Look through the list until you get to the "Multimedia" section. Make sure there is a check in the box where it says "Play sounds in Internet Explorer". If you had to put the check in, click "Apply", then "OK".

Close down all instances of IE then reopen and try again see if you get the same problem.

If you do we'll go from there...

My computer has done this a couple of times in the past too, no amount of fiddling around with it gets it working. Have to do a system restore and knock it back to the day before!
