Hi:
I have a Sony desktop VGC-RA716G with Windows XP MCE2005 SP3 and all
updates installed. Have a Sound Max Integrated Digital Audio. I don't know
it this is integrated with motherboard or is a separate sound card? Sounds
as if it possibly is integrated with MB?
I have lost all abilities to play any sound files from either internal or
external source. However, I am getting a bleed through on my speakers with
sorta cracking or bumping sounds.
I have checked all speaker connections etc, but still no sound from sound
files. If I recall I think that I heard the noise that I now hear previously
to some degree when playing sound files recently.
Any help and/or suggestions will greatly be appreciated

In order, check:
Device Manager, ( Classic View ) Sound, Audio (TAB), Default Device
*If no device appears your sound driver isn't installed or is failing to
load.
Open the Sound Mixer and check for Mute states on Wave/Master sliders
Make sure the Master slider is at or above 60% & Wave similar value
Turn down any input sources that are not used ( Input Monitor, Mic...)

Test the speakers on another PC to either rule out or confirm them as the
source of the issue.
Test known good working speakers on your PC to either rule out or confirm the
audio driver(s)/software as the source of the issue.
Check the Sony support site for any updates that may pertain to the issue.

If the integrated audio is presented as the source of the issue try
uninstalling/reinstalling the driver(s)/software or disable the integrated audio
and install a Sound card. Recently I worked on a machine that used SoundMax and
had issues similar to yours. The speakers worked on another machine and none
worked on the problem machine, installing a sound card regained audio for the
user.

Thanks for all your timely postings.
After running everything about 2-3 times I finally found it was a cable
connection.
I have a spare cloned HD and even replaced current HD with it to, only
find out eventually the cable connection. Sometimes the simplest solution is
the hardest to find....
