Windows 7, Keyboard was pressed, now now sound will play?

My cat was walking across my keyboard and decided to lay down on it. Upon doing this, there was a loud beep, and the sound cut out of all my applications, even though the output is still saying i have audio.

I run my audio out of a Firepod, so i first checked if that was the case. But it was working and saying it was receiving and outputting a signal as well, set as default as usual.

What did my cat press to do this?! muting then un-muting doesn't work, and no sound is playing out of anywhere.

Thanks for the help

    Perform a "system restore" by going to the calendar and choosing a restore point ( date and time ) on the calendar listings that occurred just prior to your cat giving a whole new meaning to "sleep mode". The system restore won't effect any files and should only take about 5 minutes. This should return all your computer settings to the point in time that you choose on the system restore calendar listing. This should return your computer to the time chosen before your kitty took a cat nap! You can always try another restore point if this doesn't work or cancel out the system restore like it never happened. Hope this will work for you!
