I'm seeing something weird here. I did not touch my system at all but lost all sound today. This effects all MP sources (TV, music, radio, TV series, movies, etc), but ONLY when playing through MP. Sound outside of MP is fine: if I play music or movies in Media Player, everything is OK. Windows 'beeps' are working. Even the TV preview screen in the TV server config is working fine. Note that video is working absolutely as should be; I'm just not gettting any sound when playing in MP.

I can't for the life of me thing of a cause or solution. I have rebooted (obviously!) and even done a complete re-install of both MP and TVserver, but neither worked. The fresh reinstall (before I added my settings) did not work either.

Any genius out there got an idea?

Well, guess this probably wont work for you, but you can check.
I had a case where I was messing with codecs and suddenly found myself without sound. Nothing was audioable. Have been installing/unistalling codecs for a while before I found that the volume was muted... :oops: I guess I touched some button on the remote which did that...
It may be worth checking for you, but Ill doubt its still possible after a full MP un/install cycle.

I guess I should have searched harder - I found a similar thread with Paranoid's suggestion to check that, in the Vista sound icon in systray, MP is not muted. It was... I have never seen MP displayed here before, so can't explain how this suddenly activated itself. Bug?
