Sound issues with Vista

[Chyann1010]

My sound was working fine. Until today..it just stopped. I have no idea as to
why that occurred.
Drivers are up to date..Device Manager says my sound card is working
properly. I go into services and Windows sound isn't running. So I try and
start it to no avail.

I'm not computer savvy, so please have patients with my lack of technical
language.
If you have questions about my pc I will be glad to answer them to the best
of my ability.

Hi Chyann,

A) Reboot - sometimes this is all that is needed.

B) System Restore. If there was some corruption of the system that caused
the issue, this should resolve it.

C) Reinstall sound card drivers, or update them to the most recent ones. The
files may have been corrupted or altered.

D) Under services, check both Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint for
dependencies that need to be running as well. To check dependencies, double
click on the service and check the appropriate tab. It may also help to
change the first failure action on the Recovery tab to restart the service.
