I just wanna emote to the death, I know we suffer for fashion or for whatever

Tech support time:

Any idea why my computer is now refusing to play any sound? I've tried Winamp and Media Player (so it's not the program). I've tried using both the soundcards we've got on the machine (so it's not the soundcard). I've tried both speakers and headphones (so it's not the speakers, although the connection from the speakers is a bit dodgy).

The prelude to all this was while recording on Adobe Audition I plugged a microphone in, which then screeched interminably. The computer then lapsed into silence. Weirdly, it came back to life for half of a track (Dizzee Rascal of all things, off Media Player), but has now decided to go mute again.

We're using SoundMAX and Creative SoundBlaster on Windows XP, if that helps at all.

Any answers would be gratefully appreciated. The obvious answer is "throw the computer in the bin" but hey, if YOU'VE got a spare £400 in these sparse economic times, more power to you.
