Sound my sound isnt working!!!! i went on youtube to watch my favorite music video and i couldnt hear a thing. i troubleshooted, i restarted my computer, i checked to make sure everything was plugged in correctly and it was. i even installed the recommended driver for my computer and that didnt work either. my cousin passed away not so long ago and i want to see (and hear) a video of him THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!! WHAT DO I DO?

Did you have sound before?
If yes then follow this for xp:
Start/control panel/Sounds, Speech, & Audio Devices/Sound & Audio Devices. Is page greyed out? If yes then most likely its your sound card or on board sound, or your missing drivers.
If not greyed out go to "Sounds" tab, click on any "Program events" sound under Windows then click little black arrow next to browse on bottom right . Sound? If the arrow is greyed out then its the same; audio hardware device or audio driver.
If there is still no sound click on "Hardware" tab and first Sound,video and game controller then "properties". This will tell you under "Device status" if this device is working properly. Do this for each Sound, video ect.... selection in the list. I have found there are usually 6 listings. If not then you are most likely missing a sound driver.
