Shoutbox

I've noticed that , in the past two weeks, sound just randomly stops coming out of the speakers in my computer. If I try to play a sound in winamp, the sound doesn't play at all. It's not just that no sound comes out, the sound just doesn't play. The speakers work fine, and nothing is muted. My drivers are up to date and fine as well. But this happens randomly and I have no idea why. This seems to happen ever since I installed the latest real player

Anyone have any idea what to do?

Edit: I figured out that if I manage to get a windows error with that weird beep sound then everything comes back to normal
