this is actually an old post that I still haven't been able to resolve.
My father-in-law uninstalled Rhapsody on his computer, since then the sound stopped working. I checked everything...Updated the soundcard drivers. the sound card is SoundMax. Now here is the weird part. I went to windows help and used the Microsoft automatic "Fixit" application, About halfway through the sound went on. The problem is when the computer restarted it stopped working again. I have only been able to replicate the "fixit" fix one more time. Now that wont even work. The sound card is showing up in device manager but not under sound devices in the control panel ... Any incite would be great...
have also tried to do a windows repair install and also plugged in a USB headset that should of bypassed the sound card ..didn't work either. Other than a complete re-install....what can I do ..what couldo f caused this.
