No Music or Sound

I tried playing some mods last week, but for the first time no sound or music would be played. It was completely silent. I tried playing the original Cave Story, and the same thing happened still. I checked all the volume controls, but everything was fine.

I tried playing other non-Cave Story games, and the sound worked fine. I tried again today, but nothing still worked with the mods or Cave Story to make the sounds happen.

 

...Is this your first time playing Cave Story, Mike?

 

...
No...

I played it for the first time back in November 2009. I just haven't played it for awhile, I've been busy. I saw it, wanted to play it again, but the sounds weren't working.

If it helps, the sounds stopped working around the same time I installed 7Zip, though I don't think that caused it stop working.

 

Still not working...other games I've downloaded have also stopped having their sounds work as well.

 

Checked Volume Control?


What's your OS?

 

20 bucks says it's Vista.

 

redownload/reinstall/max volume/check speakers/check wires/update drivers/restart/get new speakers/get new soundcard.

 

The only things I haven't tried is reinstall, get new speakers, and get a new soundcard.

It isn't the speakers, since I can still hear things in videos such as Youtube. Before I consider getting a new soundcard, I'm going to try to reinstall.

Umm...how do I do that?

 

I'm having the same problem, but I just got Cave Story. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I'm supposed to go to fix the sound?
