So windows default sounds work, like errors and clicking but chrome does not work, so does steam so i cant even watch youtube videos, play games or hear any facebook notifications. This happened after i opened audacity, i re installed it, restarted my pc and deleted that (LAME) or (LAMP) driver it asked me to download...
Ive spent 3 hours trying to get it fixed but to no avail nothing has happened, so ive come here and registered to get my fix, thanks !

Re: Audacity stopped almost all my windows sounds
I presume that you have tried rebooting?
Which version of Windows and which version of Audacity (see pink box above).
Assuming that you are using Vista or later, look in the Windows Sound Control Panel and see what is set as the default playback device and check that the playback volume is turned up.

Yes they are
Re: Audacity stopped almost all my windows sounds
You've still not told us which version of Windows.
Since your sound system is working for some things, then clearly your sound system is working.
Have you checked the playback volume of those applications that are not working (in the Windows volume control)?

Re: Audacity stopped almost all my windows sounds
Sorry about that, its windows 7 64bit and my volume levels in all applications are to their max.
Re: Audacity stopped almost all my windows sounds
I rarely use Windows, so you will probably need to wait for one of the Windows guys to come along. The more information that you can provide the better.
Please try as many sound making applications as you can think of (Windows Media Player? Any other media player? Playing an audio CD?) and let us know what works and what doesn't.
Try changing the default playback device to your speakers - does that work with anything?
