No Mixer Device in Windows XP

A client computer came in with no sound. The drivers were installed properly. Trying to load volume control gave an error that there was no mixer devices installed.

It was a Realtek AC'97 Audio device on board in a Cmopaq Presario computer.

Solution:
Enable the "Windows Audio" Service.

Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage"
Open "Services"
Open "Windows Audio Service"
Change to "Automatic"
Apply changes
Click "Start"

Problem solved!
