Why not use System Restore to when it worked since that won't affect our files but roll back the OS and drivers to when it worked?

Hello,
After a computer crash (blue screen) and a reboot that required a 'windows repair' my sound stopped working. The interesting thing about this is that it only seems to be internet sound, for example when I go to youtube or try to listen to internet radio...there's no sound. However, if I click the little speaker icon in the system tray (to adjust my volume) I am able to hear the windows 'ding' sound. My guess is that there seems to be an internet option in windows somewhere that somehow got flipped to 'off'. I use Internet Explorer, the current verison.
I do not have a soundcard, my sound runs off my motherboard using Realtek HD audio manager software. RealTek has audio tests available in the sound manager section and I hear the test sounds just fine.
Has anyone had this issue or does anyone have an idea of how to fix it??
Thanks in advance
