Hello, I've been having problems with my sound not working. A reboot fixes it but it seems to be occurring more and more. I have windows XP and normally use firefox browser. When my sound stops working, youtube videos do not load or play. Itunes doesn't play either, along with any other playlist. It's getting aggravating having to reboot each time this happens so I was wondering if anyone can help me fix this?
I'd really appreciate it. :) Thanks!
Update:I don't think I have cyberDVD but I do have something in my add/remove programs called powerDVD.
I'm on youtube right now and the video plays and loads but there's no sound. When I turn up my speaker volume I hear a buzzing sound.
And I'm not sure how to find out about the sound card and video card.

It sounds like more of a software issue rather than a hardware issue with your computer. When the media no longer loads do Window's sounds still come out and do you see any video lag?
It actually sounds like you're using a program like CyberDVD and that's disabling the audio channels from the other programs however that doesn't explain why the video doesn't play.
You could try to reinstall Flash, Quicktime (and iTunes), and reset settings on Firefox.
If not, I'm not particularly sure what the common cause it, perhaps its a program you're using. I'm sure that there isn't a registry issue because the media does work at one point.
Do you use a sound card and video card that integrated from your motherboard or are they in separate cards because that could possibly be a factor in determining whether its a hardware or software issue.
It sounds plenty just like the software that's gambling the song is having issues preserving the go with the flow of song as a result of now not getting the information out of your HD or in which ever quick ample. This can also be as a result of anything as sensible as your HD being quite badly fragged which can also be quite simply constant by way of defragging it (will have to do this besides after getting performed a reinstall of o/s) IF it's not that it would be as a result of older drivers, going for walks out of RAM (do you could have whatever else going for walks while seeking to play the song?). I feel it's in most cases anything to do with the fragmentation of the HDD or the reminiscence regardless that and might endorse establishing with the ones. Might even be valued at loking at a larger software to play the song as that may aid... (Update your entire drivers additionally as those home windows set up with install are all obsolete)

Another suggestion. Uninstall Firefox and reinstall it after a reboot.
If you have your sound card driver, try to reinstall the driver.
If that did not helped you, try repair the windows by your windows XP
