so recently the volume icon in the toolbar just disapeared. i have it clicked to show it, i've tried un clicking it and such, and nothing. its just gone. wasn't a big deal, then i tried to watch a flash video online and got no sound. i now have no sound on the internet at all, including AIM. i have no AIM sounds, i can't hear online movies or flash or anything. I can however listen to music, movies, play games, and it works fine. it makes no sense. this applies to both IE, and firefox as well, so i know its not a browser issue. i also have run numerous spyware, trojan, antivirus, malware, and many other system tests, so i don't think its anything there. i just dont' know whether its software or hardware. if anyone knows, let me know! thanks!

Did you try to check your internet options if you check the enable sounds?

[molsen]

yes, check your internet options. then reinstall audio drivers and check back

[khlorineking]

yeah i did that, sounds are enabled, i reinstalled drivers, both the AC97, and the nvidia, seperately, neither of which changed anything and now i have static in all sound

Maybe your windows file system had been corrupted already.
The only advice i can give you is to reinstall your windows.
