No sound from speakers, can't play audio files in WMP
Hello!
Rather recently, I lost the ability to hear sound on my computer. If I try to play an audio file in Windows Media Player, I receive this error message: Windows Media Player Windows Media Player cannot play the file because this is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly. OxC00D11BA: Cannot play the file. This tells me that the problem is not just my speakers suddenly not working (they are plugged in, power on, volume up, and I didn't do anything to them physically from one day to the next; the sound just went away poof). I can still make audio cds from WMP but I can't play/hear them. Also, when I go looking for the volume control, I get the message: Volume Control There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware. This program will now close. I have tried the trouble shooting steps but have gotten nowhere. The most recent change that I've made to my computer is that I tried to install Windows XP Service Pack 2 (I was on dial-up so I didn't bother until I upgraded) and that installation failed. I have tried to install it again, but it fails (the first time it tried to install, my Zonealarm popped up a weird notice so I told it no and then the Service Pack failed to install). I'm trying to figure out if there's an issue with the actual sound card that's in my computer (that it went poof and I need to get a new one) or if I've screwed it up when the Windows XP Service Pack 2 failed to install so its a software problem (i.e. something's not talking to something else). If anyone has any ideas/suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them as I have no clue. Thank you! Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
