vista sound stops working in firefox, winamp, still works in ie,wmplayer

I'm flommoxed. Without installing or changing anything in particular,

my sound stopped working in some non-windows apps, and not in others.

I'm running vista ultimate as I have been for some time. Winamp will

immediately move quickly down its playlist without displaying any

error firefox won't error on youtube videos either, displaying the

video fine--just no sound. ie and wmplayer operate perfectly. media

center and video games operate fine too.

 

I'm having real trouble with any google-fu restricting to when only

some apps are having trouble with sound, as opposed to no sound at

all. Nor do I have any prime candidates for debugging, not doing or

changing anything out of the ordinary certainly not any sound

configuration changes. The closest thing to this happening before is

occasionally the sound wouldn't work when i'd log in locally after

having been remoted in at work: it usually yielded a directsound error

and corrected itself, or a reset took care of it. that's not the case

now.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated.
