Ok this is a strange problem. This morning I turned on my computer and first browsed the internet on Firefox then decided to play Counter Strike Source. Once I start playing I realize that there is no sound. So I restart the computer and go directly into Counter Strike Source again and the sound works. After playing for a little I go back to web browsing and decided to go into Counter Strike again make sure that the sound is working. It does not. Then I restart again and play an mp3 and it works then try to check the computer volume to make sure everything is fine and I get this...
"There are no active mixer devices avalable. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panal, click Printers and Other Hardware, then click Add Hardware."
I then go to play another mp3 in Windows Media player and I get this then...
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there 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."
I reinstall the Realtek drivers and I get the same problem.
Then I do a System Restore to two days ago, and the problem is still there.
So now I decied to do a virus scan with AVG, a spyware scan with Defender, and a malware and spyware scan with A squared. They all find nothing. And still I get the same problem.
Also when I put in the Motherboard CD to reinstall the drivers there is no autorun. I check on another CD and also autorun is not working
I have an ASUS P5LD2 motherboard and I am using it's audio hardware.
Edit: I just checked the Realtek audio demo and it makes the demo sound but still nothing else.
