System Sounds Don't Play

Today I noticed my system sounds no longer play. However I can go into the
Windows\Media folder and play any of the system sounds directly in Media
Player. I can also play mp3's with no problem and my tv tuner card has
sound playback. I've tried manually setting up a couple sounds with their
events and that does not work. I have tried the default scheme, Ultimate
Extra Glass scheme, Ultimate Extras Pearl scheme and none of them work.

No conflicts in device manager.

Computer is a Dell XPS 410, sound card is "High Def Audio Device".

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Tom
 
How did you try manually setting them?

by clicking browse in the sound menu where the system events are listed and
finding a wav file.

No sound when clicking preview/test. The sounds play when browsing to the
media folder and playing in Media Player.

If no sounds in preview, have you tried system restore?

no, haven't tried restore. Won't I lose some installed apps? If so then
it's not worth it to me. Thanks.

It depends on when the installed apps were installed. If they have been on
your system for a few months and you
restore to a date a week ago, you lose nothing. Suggest you read about
system restore.
