People will need quite a lot more info to try and help.

Paste your system info from MC Help.
Install the latest drivers for your soundcard
What sound card are you using?
Pin point when teh problem ocurrs (all the time, just on certain files, just on certain views just after a certain series of events etc. - experiment as much as you can).
What settings do you have in Tools> Options> Playback.(mention them all including output mode and output settings)
What settings do you have set in Tools> Options> General for Behaviour.

In fact I started having this problem only the lat couple of weeks.

load MC, select some tracks, click play; stop;play -> no sound.
