Default User Switching = No Sound

My main admin account plays all sounds fine. Every
account I create afterwards (and guest) play NOTHING. No
settings are muted, and the Windows Volume Slider shows
the sound is playing. I switch back to my main admin user
and try playing the same file with no problems. I hear
the sound fine. Checked all the drivers on both accounts
and there are no conflicts.

Just wondering why a new user account would default to no
sounds??? Any ideas?

I would presume that your sound card driver somehow installed itself in
working order solely to your admin account. This isn't unheard of with some
buggy sound card drivers. You'd probably want to check either
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
or your sound card vendor for an updated sound card driver...
