I can hear music but I can't hear any sound "effects." Even when I play games... I can hear any background music the game plays but I can't hear any effects, like guns firing, beeps, etc... Everything worked fine until today. How do I fix this? I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. I don't know anything about media cards or anything. I use Windows XP. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't see "Sound Effect" in the control panel. I even looked under Sounds, Speech, and...
If I click on the little speaker icon on the bottom right of my screen, it says something about no sound, but I can't check for sure because the icon disappeared!

It says no active mixer devices available when I click on the little icon that now no longer exists. I had sound effects yesterday. Go figure???

Double click on the little speaker icon in your system tray...the bar at the bottom. make sure all the volumes are up.

Try system restore. Go back to when it was working.
