Faulty RAM or Mac OS X problem?

[adamtj11]

Okay so I changed some settings in audio/midi settings, then I turned my mac on and off to find I had no sound.... then I deleted an audio folder in the library which I thought would put the audio back to default, except now Mac OS X is painfully slow and unbearable to use.

I thought it might be the 4gb ram module I recently inserted into it, however booting into Windows 7 everything seems to be working just as snappy I remember, and both Mac OS X Lion and Windows 7 report the 5GB Ram that is installed, could it just be that I have deleted something crucial in Mac OS X that has messed up something or is this a bigger problem with the Ram, but once again surely the Ram wouldn't work in Windows right?

I am doing a time machine restore now from just before the problem started happening, hope its a OS problem and not RAM problem....

System Preferences > sound> from the drop down box choose Output and select internal speakers.

Thanks for the reply, the problem was when I turned my Mac back on the audio symbol that comes up when you press the volume key was greyed out so thats why I went into the library folder and deleted the audio folder, and then I had problems.
