MS Access Sound Problem

Question

I installed faulty ["defective"] VBA code into a database in an application called Microsoft Access 2016. 

The faulty VBA code turned off all sounds in Access 2016, even for ALL databases.  The VBA code was supposed to mute sound using a button [behind which was the VBA code in the OnClick event] and unmute sound when the button was clicked again.  The unmute portion of the VBA code does not work which results in no sound being able to play in any database.

The faulty code VBA code made a "function call" to "Winmm.dll" to turn off the sound and turn sound on again.

How do I turn sound back on again?

Thanks, Jason, for your suggestion.  I tried to use the link you included on 3 different browsers and on each one I got "Sorry, your page cannot be found." (please see the image file attached).  Before I posted the problem, I had Access 2016 uninstalled and then reinstalled but it didn't fix the sound problem.  I do sincerely appreciate your attempts to help !!

Answer 3

Sorry, I’ve never used it before.

You could try doing an online repair of the installation.

Answer 4

Thanks, Jason, for your reply.  I couldn't restore prior to when the problem occurred reply.  The alternative sfc scan process [and associated processes] is waaay too technical for me since I am not a "teckie".  Mucho Thanks though.  Do you know if there is any VBA code that could be attached to a button control [in an "OnClick" event] that would turn Winmm,dll back "on"?

Answer 5

Can you use System restore to restore before you did that?

You could also try running sfc /scannow
