Welcome to windrivers yea1234. Much more info required:
- Make and model of computer
- Make and model of sound card (if known)
- Version of windows
- Any yellow ! or ? in device manager?
- Do other system sounds work?
Probability factor of one to one...we have normality, I repeat we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.

Should be a sticker on the side that has a service tag number or a label on the back of the machine with serial number, etc.

According to Dell that's an invalid service tag...are you sure that was it?

Welcome to windrivers Lopez.
As stated above you will need to be more specific on your computer to help you with sound. Do you have a Mfg computer: Compaq, Hewlett Packerd,
Dell, And others or do you have one someone built for you? Need to know
if you have on board sound or sound card. When you go to Device Manager
do you see any yellow exclamation symbols?

Welcome to Windrivers hugo575
First, update to Service Pack 2, many sound problems were fixed with SP2.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

Aside from repeating the original posters' query, you have provided no information about your computer. Did you READ the posts that followed the opening post?
Sometimes, if you can't ascertain that info, Everest helps:
Download and run Everest Home (it is free):
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
Once you download it, click on it and let it install and then run it from the icon on your desktop and then click on 'Computer' then on 'Summary', then go to the VERY top of the screen and click on 'report', then 'quick report-summary' and then 'plain text' and save it then go to C:/programs/lavalys and open that folder then open Everest Home sub-folder and then reports sub-folder and click on the report.
This will open it in a text editor (probably Notepad) and then use your mouse to highlight ALL the debug stuff at the bottom of the report and delete it and then save that file again and then copy and paste it to here.
