I ran into this issue when I woke up this morning, but I wasn't having it last night.
I logged into SL, and noticed that sound wasn't working. No music, or UI sounds. I messed with the audio settings and everything looked okay, so I looked at my computer's settings and everything looked okay there too. I tested my audio using Windows Media Player, and I could hear music coming from that, but nothing from SL.
So I restarted, and nothing changed. I uninstalled my sound drivers and reinstalled with Windows' recommendation, and everything was fine. I could hear SL and everything else, but then my computer wouldn't register when a headphone jack was plugged in.
So I went back into my driver, and installed the most up to date one. My headphones work fine, but I'm back where I started where I can't hear anything from SL.
I'm running an HP laptop with Windows Vista 32 bit, and my sound driver is Realtek High Definition Audio.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
