Suddenly no sound

While i was playing counterstrike suddenly i had no sound anymore. I haven´t
changed anything on my computer recently and i have an uptodate anti virus
programm. The only way to get sound again is to restart the computer. This
is really getting on my nerves.......

I´m using Windows XP Home, a cheap creative sound card (uptodate drivers).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sometimes, for no good reason, my sound is muted also, after I have used a
game or other program with sound. Is this what happened? If so, did you
notice if the speaker icon in the task bar had a red X through it? If so,
then just click on it to see if something has set it to mute. This is just
something I have to do every now and then.

Thanks for this idea but this problems comes up not AFTER i played anything
but suddenly while i am playing games. Also the speaker icon isn´t crossed
out or anything like it. In the meantime i have run the whole lot of
diagnostic programs that i have but no change.

Thanks anyway....

This is C.S. game problems. You can try to update it for fix the
problem.
I just exit and play again, the sound will come back.
