Steel's homework is kicking my ass.
Just woke up in the middle of the night. Time for a drink. I have a little cough. Hope it doesn't lead to something.

Fixing sound card issues. For once in my life, Windows' troubleshooter actually came through. I would have been searching for the problem for....
...about 5 minutes. I initially gave up and ordered a USB sound adapter. Yay Windows troubleshooter!

Isn't your sound onboard?
Was it active in bios?
Did you try installing the manufacturers drivers, not the generic M$ drivers?

The only "simple" explanation is that if Windows detects more than one audio device, only one can be the default.
It is as simple as switching between them.
Any exclamation marks in device manager? (right click my computer > properties)
Edit: if you're doing a fresh install. Allow a while for all updates, service packs to install before worrying about non essential drivers.
They usually get overwritten anyway by the updated M$ drivers. Then install manufacturer specific drivers off the net (latest)

What am I up to? Cruising past Robvalue's post count and feeling strangely guilty about it because he's so damn awesome.
I'm overpowered because I'm a turtle.
