I couldn't say for sure where the problem lies, but it is definitely not an
Outlook Express issue. I would try the XP newsgroup.

I occasionally lose sound - usually after my laptop goes into hibernation.
When I check Control PanelSounds and Audio Devices, I get an error "No
Audio Device".

Only after I reboot do I get my audio back.

Is this a browser or system software issue or is it my laptop?
