Default I have no main Windows sounds but some apps do

I have a Dell XP720 INTEL Core2duo 6600 running @ 2.40gHz and Vista Business SP2. I have an NVIDIA GEForce 8800 GTS OC, & 3 mB of RAM. My sound card is the SB X-Fi Extreme OEM that came with the PC. I have updated the drivers and it was working fine. The latest being from 11/08. It suddenly stopped playing any windows sound, the WMP won't play any wma files and quicken doesn't have any sounds. Itunes, however, does play as well as a game called FarCry. The speakers test fine under the windows devices but thesting the card under the sound applet in Control Panel fails. I have tried reinstalling the drivers to no avail. I tried driver update under Device Manager and it tells me the best driver is installed. Any ideas?
Thanks

Jose
