For some reason, I seem to have lost my sound. I believe one of the DirectX 9.0c components is missing. I have dowloaded the file from the MS site and have attempted to install it with no success. When I run the dxdiag tool it does not report a directX version. Can someone assist with perhaps detailing the removal of any reg keys and getting the install to work? The OS is XP home/SP2. ThanksDom

Does pressing Q in the sim make a difference? That's essentially the mute button. Or is it not just your sim sound?

all sound

Have you tried the web installer?Do you have onboard sound, a separate card? Have you updated your audio drivers or done a fresh install of the aforementioned? Are your speakers turned on? :(

Ah yes, now this happened to me once. I think I ended up reinstalling XP. Probably not what you want to hear... Common problem though, try googling it and you'll find heaps of others have this happen.

The link you refer to...is that DX10?
