Everything was fine before, then after the update, no sound would play for games or even Windows Media Player. I couldn't even bring up the volumn control because there was no sound device, however the log on/off sound still played normally. I did a check on my sound devices and everything was running normally. So... I googled it. > > Aside from this particular thread, I also found a thread of a very similar problem, but for Vista, in which a windows update killed the sound, and that the fix was to remove the erroneous update. So I went into Add/Remove new progams, toggled "show updates" and removed the latest series of updates one by one. When I removed "Security Update for Windows XP (KB935839)", everything worked again (sounds plays normally). I proceeded to install all the other updates except for that particular one, and everything is still working. So I'm guessing that is the problem. > > Just thought I would post my results.
