Hello,
My desktop's sound icon is showing a red "X" on it and when I place the mouse pointer on it a message pops reading "the sound device is not running" funny enough, when I play an audio or video, it plays very well with a clear sound. My os is windows 7 professionals. what might be the problem? please help.

Hi Kiviangu,

Please try this fix from Microsoft:

This tool from Microsoft automatically detects problem with the audio in Windows 7 and tries to fix them. If the problem still exists try to uninstall and then reinstall the audio drivers.
