I also tried the following trick:
- Start -> Run -> Regedit -> find the following key
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/005/Settings/filter/Rear
- Create new binary entries, Modify the MasterControlsIndependentMixerInputs and change the binary values 0000 01 to 0000 00
- Modify the EnableInputMonitor and change the binary values 0000 00 to 0000 01.
When I right clicked the EnableInputMonitor and chose Modify, the window opened already had the value 0000 01 (as per the tutorial it should have been 0000 00). Now I had two options only, one was to leave it as it is and the second one was to change it 0000 00. I tried both and when I restarted the system the sound icon was missing in the task bar. I went to Control Panel and right clicked on Sound, it was uninitialized (just as it is not recognizing the driver). Before attempting this i had made a restore point so i was able to restore the windows.
I tried all this with no luck
kindly help
