I've lost my sound and can't get it back!

I have been using a Chaintek AV710 for about six months with no problems. Last night I booted up my PC (dual PIII's, 1 gig ram, Chaintek AV710, PNY FX5500 dual monitor, multiple optical drives, 2 HDD, one for dual OS'S, one for video capture, WIN2K Pro, SP4) and no sound!

I have a DTT2500 that the AV710 feeds, when I did a speaker check, they were working, goto system/hardware, all drivers installed and card "working", opened "volume control", nothing muted, opened "CD Player", it indicates CD is in correct drive and is playing!

Still no sound?

Should I simpley uninstall/re-install all audio hardware and drivers? What am I missing?

Ideas please!

regards,

jaybird

check leads
cross check leads, front speakers in back socket etc
power to speakers
headphones instead of speakers

Jay, did you figure this out?

My experience is when something weird like this happens I do shutdown and 2 minute cold boot(power off 2 minutes) and see if that fixes it.
