I found a solution, as it turns out Windows XP doesn't just have one registry, it
has one for every user. Knowing this I tried something, I have 2 users on this computer,
one for my girlfriend and I, and the other for her 5 year old son. I logged into
his user, and the volume control worked fine.
I went into the registry as him, and saved a copy of the following registry key and
all its subtrees:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents
Then I changed the user back to myself and deleted the same registry key and all
its subfolders.
FINALLY, I double clicked on the backed up registry key and poof, once it was done
I had instant volume control DING noises and the DefaultSound sound was back in my
sounds... Simple solution for such an annoying problem, hope this helps.
