We have a laptop running Windows XP, for some unknown reason the sound does not work. The speaker icon located in the toolbar is now missing. When I went to control panel and selected sound control the adjustment options were not activated (they would not allow me to make adjustments). Nothing is pluged in to the speaker jacks. Earthlink DSL was installed and the sound problem resulted after that. What should we do?

delete your sound drivers and reboot. XP should find new hardware and make them work. Make sure you have the volume up!

I had a similar problem, took it back and the guys at CompUsa didn't fix it. I had to live with this solution. I restart the computer, and then wait for a beep when my password blank appears. If it doesn't beep, i restart it. It usually works half the time.
You may find your solution to be here.
Start - Control Panel - Sound and audio Devices. That may help you figure out your problem.

run system restore to before you installed the software then install it again, if it fails again call the ISP or check their FAQ it may be a known issue, you likely have some kind of driver conflict if it's the software

one million) audio system on? two) plugged in... three) enter decided on? four) now not muted? five) grasp quantity up? 6) wav quantity up? 7) speaker quantity up? If all that is actual - uninstall and re-set up your audio drivers from gadget supervisor.

if you have your drivers disk try reloading ALL of your drivers as it is almost impossible to get just the one you need make a backup disk first of coarse if this does not work you might have to reload your systems disk also
