Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Sound isn't working

Oh man... I hate that. Sometimes when I take my computer out of standby or hibernate, it doesn't detect my sound card. It's annoying as hell. Go to Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices (In Windows XP. It should be something similar in whatever you have), and if it shows up as "No sound device detected" or something like that, then you have the same problem I do, and I don't have a permanant fix for it as of yet :(
Restarting the computer works sometimes. If not, I have to reinstall the sound drivers entirely. If I leave something playing when I put it into standby/hibernate, then everything's ok when I turn it back on, but sometimes if I forget, my sound won't work. Just try reinstalling the sound drivers (Do you have a CD that came with the computer, mainboard or sound card? If yes, it's probably on that) and see if it helps. That's really the best advice I can give you :( Sorry.

Tragically unbeyachted.
I have the exact same problem (well, the one Nitro said, with the "No audio output device is installed" thing), and I called someone today and they couldn't help me over the phone, so they're coming to have a look at it next week. If I get the chance (I dunno if I'll be in whent he collect it), I'll see if I can ask what the problem was, because it's very weird and highly annoying.
