    Recently I have been losing my "audio device" on my XP computer.
    In other words I cannot hear audio from music files, film files or owt like that.
    When I check my "sounds" in Control Panel it says "no audio device", but I then do a system restore back to, say, yesterday when it was working ok and it starts to work again.
    It seems to happen when I switch off the pc, it loses its audio.
    Apart from leaving the pc switched on all the time have you heard of this before, or can you suggest how I can fix it.

    Try this:


    1. Click Start -> Run.
    2. Type: services.msc and press enter.
    3. Scroll down to "Windows Audio" in the right-hand column and double-click on it.
    4. Make sure the "Startup Type" is set to "Automatic" and click on the Start button under Service Status. The Windows Audio service should restart.
