Default REAPER no sound

I downloaded the latest version of REAPER but I can't get any sound whatever audio device settings I choose.
With WDM, there are no input or output devices available.
Directsound shows no activity on the mixer or the track meter.
When I select Waveout, I get a popup saying
'REAPER Error
There was an error while opening your audio hardware'
Finally, both ASIO and Dummyaudio show activity on the mixer and track meter but there is no sound.

I looked at the troubleshooting REAPER section in the userguide but none of the solutions seemed to help.
Im getting sound from other sources but it's just REAPER that has no sound so I dont think its my sound card.
I even checked the volume mixer to see if REAPER was muted but no and it doesnt show any audio activity.

Sorry about the long post, but help would be very much appreciated.

There a little speaker symbol below the track Record button. Have you clicked on this to set Record Monitoring On?

Sounds like another program has captured the soundcard driver...have you tried closing all other running programs?

I closed everything but that didnt do anything. I also tried restarting but same result.
In the volume mixer I only had REAPER and Windows Sounds but it cant be due to windows sounds could it?
Also I have vista, I dont know if its something to do with that...

I use Vista. I've actually set my Windows Sound Scheme to No Sounds. I don't know if this will help.

To do this right click on the speaker symbol in the Windows Taskbar (it should be at the bottom right of your monitor).

Click on Sounds

Under Sound Scheme select No Sounds from the drop down menu.

Does that help?

Download asio4all and try that.

Tried the windows sound thing but didnt work.
Ive been using asio4all (see jpg file).
Maybe its just my sound card thats the problem, I think i just have an integrated soundcard on my laptop.
