All,
You can try this to disable the sound enhancements that come with
Realtek cards or chips. This is in Windows 7.
1. Open the Sound dialogue box through Control Panel.
2. Select "speakers (realtek)" in the list of devices, and then click
properties.
3. Ctrl-tab to the enhancements tab.
4. Check "disable all enhancements".
5. Click ok.
6. Click ok again.
Good luck.

For what it's worth, every system I've ever had with a RealTek sound
card has been problematic to say the least. They don't seem to like any
other cards or audio interfaces being used, and they have some garbage
sound enhancements turned on by default that wreak havoc with
everything. So first try to find that in device manager or control panel
and turn it off. Then, if you can, as I did with my latest system that I
couldn't get without RealTek onboard, do yourself a big favor and
disable it in bios; this will require sighted help, then grab a PCI,
PCIE, or USB sound card and life will be a lot easier.
Hth,

This has been an on going issue and alot of emails lately trying to
isolate the problem. It seems that many of us have reltech sound cards
but it appears to be a win7 issue.
WE 7.5.2 has actually reduced my problem but it still occurs mainly in
tbird. Do you lose all sounds or just we?

Since installing the latest WE 7.5.2 I have been experiencing more
total loss of sound. Only way to get it back is to reboot and about
half the time the only way to reboot is to hold down the power button.
Running on a Win 7 64 bit machine with all updates including video and
sound card drivers.
Also with IE 8 I am needing to do a lot of screen redraws to get a web
page to complete its download.
