with my computer more and I am not winning.
CP, about the only thing I haven't been able to do yet is to round up a pair of headphones/speakers with a USB port connection.
More News On What I've Done
~I checked the Sound, video game, and game controllers under Device Manager.
What was listed was: Audio Controllers, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy Video Capture Devices, Media Control Devices, SoundMAX Integrated Audio, and Video Codecs
I ran an update on all and the response for all was "could not find a better match than what is installed." I also went to properties on each one and they all said this device is working properly.
I think the computer lies. 
On System Restore...I did a check to make sure it was on...it is.
I tried booting in safe mode but I couldn't run a virus check because Bitdefender(what I use) apparently needs access to the internet to run a virus check. So, I ran this Advanced System Care which scans for Malware and System problems etc. while I was in safe mode.
Sparky, I did try to uninstall Flash, then doing a disc cleanup and a defrag...then reinstalling Flash but it didn't help. As far as Active X, I don't use IE. I was using Chrome and then tried switching to Mozilla to see if that made a difference...it didn't. I also have IE as another backup browser and so I tried IE just for kicks but no sound from YouTube or elsewhere.
So, I was searching on the internet and this one forum said to go to the System Info Tool and check the nodes under Hardware...especially the Conflicts/Sharing node. They said you can find out information from the C/S node. Well, some people may be able to but it is all unfamiliar ground to me.
Does the following mean anything or tell you anything about my sound issue?

I underlined the Resource column(1st column) to make it more easy to tell between the two columns because they won't stay separated when I did a preview post. You probably know, but in case you don't; the second column is the Device column.
I don't know I may be exhausting all possible options. I might be getting to the point of being up a creek without a paddle other than pay some technician big money to diagnose my problem or buying a new computer through Ebay or something.
Thanks again CP and Sparky and anybody else that is a computer guru that might have a suggestion.
