Sound card problem...

Hey guys,

I have a Sound Blaster 2 Audigy ZS in my computer. I just freshly installed Windows along with the drivers from Creative. Just after the install, everything was running fine (that was yesterday). I turned off the computer during the night and when I booted it today, suddenly I can't hear the Windows sounds anymore (not that I want to hear them really). When I check in Device Manager, everything is said to be "working properly", according to Windows. What really bugs me is that, looking into Sound and Audio Devices (Control Panel), everything is grayed out and it's telling me "No Audio Device".

Furthermore, I load Winamp. At first, I cant hear anything because the playback device isnt the good one. I switched to Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and eveything is back to normal in Winamp. What's happening with Windows? I tried re-booting, to no avail.

 
I had a similar problem once. No idea what happened, but uninstalling the drivers, shutting down, physically removing and reinstalling the card, restarting and reinstalling the drivers solved it.
