You are currently in a Windows ME discussion however, if like me, you found this thread through google or similar, my answer below is for a Windows XP machine. I'm sure, in October 2006, most problems will be with XP rather than ME. This problem annoyed me one Saturday morning also. I had completed a Windows update and an LG update (I have an LG notebook) the night before. After reboot there was no sound, all the 'Sound and Audio Devices Properties' were grayed (greyed) out and had the message 'no playback devices'. There are many frustrated people out there with this problem - see above and also google "no playback devices" SOLUTION: what worked for me in *Windows XP* was to do a System Restore to when the sound was working. None of the other solutions above would work. Hope this helps. Solutions above: 1. Check 'windows audio' 2. Use SAFE mode 3. Replace system.ini
