After repusing others I can't quite find anyone with my issue. Sound working fine. I was playing with the "enviroments" in RealTek. For some reason I clicked "reset defaults" accidently and while the RealTek Tests work fine, all other sounds are gone. No problem with sound card in Device Manager. Everything plugged in properly. Have mucked with all settings gingerly, no luck. Thoughts?

Why dont you just try downloading and reinstalling the realtek drivers? Sometimes a fresh install will help if a file just got corrupted or misplaced somehow.

I've had a lot of odd problems with realtek over the years. I avoid it if I can, but it seems to be popular in onboard sound
