Hi, I am having an annoying issue with my PC. When it comes out of sleep mode the computer no longer has sound. I am usually pretty good at fixing stuff like this, but can't figure this one out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When did the problem start please.
Was it identifiable after a particular event or install of something.
What has to be done, to then get the sound.

Not really sure when this started, just that it has been doing this for some time now. To get the sound back I restart the computer. I can hear the speakers click when audio is restored during the loadup Windows XP screen.

Default device = SB Live! Wave Device
No other options

Didn't make any changes. Same result, no sound after sleep mode.

I presume there is no possibility that someone has been in BIOS setup and disabled support for Plug and Play Devices.
Eliminating that possibility and the other chance that a recently installed programme USING the sound card, is in some way causing this, my advice is to
1. Establish a Restore Point
2. Uninstall the driver.
3. Remove the device, I mean in Hardware, Device Manager.
3. Restart the computer and let Windows find the device and the driver., allowing it access to the Internet for the driver.
4. Test the sound.
5. Restart again.
See if it is now correct when the computer hibernates.
THERE IS NO RISK to this, as the driver is easily found by XP.

Thanks for the suggestion, but still no luck. Computer picked up the new Hardware and installed the driver. But no sound still after hibernation.

Any other suggestions anyone??

[Macboatmaster]

If you Google it, as "Creative NO SOUND after hibernation" you will see a number of suggested fixes.
However, I personally would not try any of them as there appears to be no guarantee of them being certified.
If you do decide to run one of them - establish a restore point first. Also check that you have a System Restore Point available.
Best of luck
