When I wanted to access Volume Control, an error message prompt "There are active mixer devices available. You may install or activate mixer devices from the Control Panel.
I tried doing that, but nothing worked.
Any help shall be greatly appreciated
 
I had this same instance happen recently.
(the volume icon in taskbar dissapeared, no win startup sounds, etc.)
I formatted C: drive, re-installed windows, dnld updates, same prob.
The second time i re-installed windows, i checked every syep for sound before continuing to next. ie: (between every update)
As far as I could limit it to was a corrupt win .netframework install
Do you have this installed? - .netframework?
I am not positive, but this is as close as I could confirm it to.
Even when I had no sound, the evice manager would show devices working properly. ie: no yellow exclamation marks, yet it wouldn't work.
