Suddenly I am getting no sound when the computer starts up or shuts down, everything else works as far as sound goes.

You have been spending too much time at NCT. It has irreparably damaged your computer. Throw it out.
When you manually select the shutdown/startup sound and are given an option to play it, does that work?
Yep, music works fine (as in youtube links) and the media player.do you still have regualar sound on your PC PG? all other sounds/music working properly?
Tried everything.can you hear me now? LOL have you tried setting it to a different sound for the recycle bin and shutdown? Might be you have lost or corrupted the particular windows sound file.
