ok yesterday [10/2/07] i found out that Messenger Plus sounds do not work.
i deleted Messenger Plus from my computer & reinstalled it. I still did not hear the sounds. I went on a music site [MySpace.com] and the music on there did not work. I checked my volume controls. that wasn't it. i reinstalled windows media player. that still didnt work. i re installed flash player. still didn't work.
what do i do to get ALL THE SOUNDS on th internet [including] Messenger Plus.
the music on my computer will play in windows media player. BUT NOT when i click on something and stream it!
i've checked the options in internet explorer. still nothing.
'play media' in options is checked.
i dont know how to fix it.
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!
and i do not want to defragament my pc.
[operating system is windows xp media center edition]
[windows live version-8.1]
[Messenger Plus version-4.11.0.254]

Have you tried updating your sound drivers? Have you cross checked that all cables are in?

if i can hear music on my computer, how come i cant hear them on the internet pages?

Sounds drivers....as far as I know, windows sounds play regardless. Any other music such as music on the net and stuff need drivers to play.

why would they not work now...
after.. like a year of beening on this computer.

Drivers could be well out of date. Which could mean that cutting sound off is a way of telling you to stop being lazy and update them

hahahaahahah,
and how do i do that?
sorry i am good with computers.. but some stuff i dunno about.

OK firstly what needs to be known is is your sound on board (as in actually on your motherboard) or you do you use a sound card connected to the motherboard to hear sound?

lol.
umm.
sound card.

OK means if you go to my computer, right click and choose manage, then choose device manager, the under sound look for your sound card. An example is Realtek AC97.
