User Account Administrator no sound

I wanted to eliminate the welcome screen to save time logging in. I
unchecked the Welcome Screen box under User Accounts. I only remember 2
accounts. Then I lost all sound. I tried to restore, but that failed. So, I
went back to enable welcome screen. It did not display, but did allow me to
log off and switch users. When I go back to one of the 2 original user
accounts, the sound works fine. I reboot or switch back to administrator (I
assume is where it was going when I unchecked) and there is no sound. How do
I get sound on the administrator user account? XP SP2
