My pc died a few weeks ago and I thought all was lost. Thankfully, it was resurrected - well, rebuilt minus all of my files.

However, since then, I have no sound on it. And Im at my wits end as to what to try next.

Ive checked all the devices, drivers, enabling, troubleshooting, updating drivers etc.

Its got Soundmax Digital Integrated Audio. And Windows XP Pro.

If I plug my headphones in, they work. But no Windows sounds or media or anything plays normally through my PC. I have no separate headphones, just a little speaker opening on the front of the base unit.

I can find nothin in the help guides, changing settings etc that makes it work - there are no compatibility or hardware conflicts coming up and everything shows as working normally.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
