Here are a couple of articles that document similar issues.

When you use Windows Media Center to play live TV or a DVD on a Windows
Vista-based computer, you cannot hear the audio after you wake the computer
from sleep:

You cannot adjust the volume for a USB speaker after you resume the Windows
Vista-based computer from sleep or from hibernation:

Hi Ronnie, The hotfix was emailed to me today and I tried to download the
hot fix kb942364 bec it describes exactly my problem. all files were unzipped
ok and i even restarted my computer but the problem is still there.

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium; 32-bit Operating System. Could this be
the reason? If so, is there other solution? thank you.

Hi Ronnie, the prob is still the same after downloading the hotfix but there
was an improvement. i've discovered that after sleep mode I can get back the
sounds by going to the control panel, then under the hardware and sound, I go
to manage audio devices, and once I clicked on the Recording tab, I regained
the sounds in my computer. I tried it several times and it worked. but is
there other ways of doing it? an additional download perhaps? thank you again
:-)

I have the same problem, my sound won't come on after waking up from sleep.
What's worse is none of my sounds work (not only my sounds for windows
media). And those links from Ronnie don't help me much.

After you hit the Recording Tab highlight your mic and hit Set As Default.
Then do Configure. Check the sound.

Set as Default is crucial.

Ronnie, I am wondering if you could find a hotfix for a person whose
keyboard does not wake up after sleep.

OK, there is another update that fixes similar problems, but is focused on
the sound device instead of just the speakers. Take a look at the following
article to see if this describes your sound device.

A high definition audio device may no longer work after you resume Windows
Vista from hibernation or from sleep:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937077/

This article has a downloadable fix.

There are so many problems with the hibernate/sleep components that we are
seeing and these have been made a high priority in Service Pack 1. The final
version of SP1 should be released soon.
