No sound from PC

Hi

I tried installing realplayer this morning and have now lost all sound on my PC.

I have uninstalled the player and tried using iplayer on BBc website (as I knew I was getting sound from this yesterday) but it is still not working.

In the volume control the levels are going up and down - I just cant hear anything.

Anybody have any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks

    i detest realplayer - the most unfriendly and horrible program i;ve come across.

    to fix your problem, i'd try using another program to open a file not necessarily on the internet to prove your sound is dead.
    has your pc been put in "mute" mode?
    web settings set to not display video/sound?
    try another program for your mp3 or movie files eg winamp or media player
    then try re-installing the drivers for your sound card.

    i've only ever come across a handful of files i can't play because i don't have realplayer.
