no audio

Thanks. I can re-install the audio drivers, as you suggested, but I don't
know how or where to re-install "Direct X". I'll figure it out.
I thought "system sounds" was the correct description. Yes, I mean the
chimes, beeps, etc. I was checking to see if these sounds come through the
stereo speakers. They do, although I no longer am hearing the little
"flourish" that Windows plays when you turn on or turn off the system.

Try system restore to the day it was working .

Thanks. I hadn't used system restore since way back when I had an ME system.
With that computer, system restore was a nightmare. But this worked
perfectly, & I also set today as a new restore point.
Thanks again.
