Can't Enable Sound Card

Dozer · Jul 30, 2007, 09:46 PM

I went into the Windows Vista Control Panel and then into Sound options. I selected my sound card icon and selected, "disable". The icon disapeared and I have no sound. The problem is I cannot find a way to Enable the card again. The Device Manager says it's there and enabled but the icon in the menu bar says there is no sound device installed. I wanted to temporarily disable the sound card to see if it had impact on frame rates. Now I can't get my sound back. Any ideas?!?! Thanks for your help!

Fixed it by doing a restore.
