Campaign sounds/music... gone?

Everything was working great up until yesterday, but now sounds/music don't work in the toolset in my campaign. At all. When I open a module by somebody else, everything is great. The music plays, ambient sounds play, everything is working as it should. When I open a module - any module - in my campaign, I get zilch. No ambient sounds, no music. It works in game, just not in the toolset. The campaign currently has three modules and several backups saved for each. Opening old backups yields the same thing: no sound.

Anybody have any insight? This is really irritating the carp out of me. 

Edit: It seems that other campaigns are affected too, but intermittently. Icewind Dale has no sounds. The Maimed God's Saga has normal sounds. The Wizard's Apprentice has sound. TWA2 has no sounds. 

Tried restarting the toolset, deleting the App Data folder for the toolset to clear preferences, rebooting the computer, and checked the settings. This was working yesterday, and I changed *nothing* since then.

First thought is of a sound-related 2da in the override folder. Any chance of that?

Yeah, that was my first thought, too, but the overrides are empty. They were empty yesterday, too, when everything was working.

After more experimenting, it seems that placed sounds are audible in the toolset, just not ambient music or environmental ambients. I always have to have the "interesting" issues. I appreciate your taking the time to look at this.

Problem solved! My OS is Windows 7. I was running the toolset in compatibility mode, XP SP2, because the Map Editor plugin doesn't work properly in Windows 7. When I deselected compatibility mode and unchecked "Disable Visual Themes," the audio started working normally again for all modules.

So now I know: When I want to use the Map Editor, run in compatibility mode with Visual Themes turned off. When I'm selecting area music and environmental ambients, change it back.
