Lost sound device

[cedarbrook]

The sound device for muting and volume control has disapeared from my system tray.
It is checked in all the right places but wont show up and it will not play in the browser. When I try and watch a news video in cnn.com or msnbc.com etc. Please help, running XP media center on Toshiba Quosmio
