I updated Windows 10 the day after it was released, and all was going fine, until the sound just cut off as I was watching a video. I have zero sound coming out off my speakers, or the PC when I plugged my headphones directly into the green port on the back of my PC's motherboard. I've tried everything from updating drivers to different connected devices, but I can't find the problem or how to fix it. I've tried updating the sound drivers for Windows 10, but it hasn't fixed anything. It's not like the sound didn't work when I updated, it was working with Windows 10 until it just cut off, and hasn't come back on since.
Since installing Windows 10, the sound will cut out every so often, usually while watching a video on YouTube or I've downloaded. If I reboot the sound works. I notice that I can't left click on the the task bar when this happens. To reboot I need to right click on the Start button. I tried updating the drivers (Connexant Smart Audio HD) but they were up to date.
I upgraded my HP laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Since then I've noticed a strange problem with the sound. It will cut out without warning--if I'm watching a video on YouTube the sound will cut out midway through but the video keeps playing. Or sometimes the video also freezes. iTunes will not play music or video at all when this happens. Restarting the computer will fix the problem, but it happens almost every day and I'd rather find some way to keep it from happening again.
Whenever i'm watching anything in "films and tv" or what was previously windows media player the sound cuts out every minute or so for about 3-4 seconds. I tried watching my shows on a newly downloaded version of VLC and the sound still cuts out. I've tried adjust the Hz in speaker properties but that doesn't work.
For some reason my microphone wont work. I recently upgraded my mobo and cpu and earlier this weekend it was working. I havent changed anything since then. The headphones still work and whenever i pug it into my I/O port it opens realtek control panel and it asks me if i plugged in the mic and i say yes or whatever. When I go into recording devices and put the volume and boost the gain it makes a buzzing but no sound. It is set to default device. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing.
I just upgraded to Windows 10 on my Lenovo ThinkPad. I like the new features but it seems something is "blocking" my internet connection. After reboot, I can access the internet for a couple of minutes before the connection is lost again.
I am still connected to my wireless network. All ping requests fail. ipconfig/release -> ipconfig/renew does not restore the connection.
My sound won't work after I installed windows 10. I'm using Conexant SmartAudio HD by the way. I tried using youtube for a solution but everything was for older builds.
My speakers work fine but when I plug in my headphones, I can't hear any sound from the headphones. The headphones do work as I use them for my desktop.
I have tried updating the sound drivers from the device manager. I have tried removing the drivers and redownloading the audio drivers from Acers website. I have tried 'installing' audio driver with the default windows 10 audio driver instead of the realtek one. I have tried adjusting the sample rate in the advanced properties tab.
What can I do to get sound working in my headphones again and not just the speakers.
When i click test sound, then i can hear sound but when im playing music or on youtube the sound doesnt work. The volume is full and my driver is updated. Windows 10.
Today when I plugged in my earphones (the apple ones) and there was no audio at all, but somehow it worked totally fine without the earphones. Even realtek detected something when I plugged my earphones, I also went to device manager to check if every driver is updated or not but still ended up no luck.
things i know: - Audio is perfect without earphones plugged in - only 'Speakers' is shown as my playback device - went to device manager and i'm pretty sure all drivers are up to date and enabled - everything was working fine the last time i booted into my windows10 (dual booting with linux) - realtek detected my earphone as it popped up a notification saying 'you just plugged a device into the audio jack'
The Conexant HD Audio Sound Driver was replace by High Definition Audio Device after i update to Windows 10 Home Version 1511 from 1011
Now if i want to plug my earphones to the left side of the computer where the audio jack socket is located the sound does not transfer to my earphones except i will change the default sound device from speakers to headphones.
How can i set it to automatically when i plugin my headphones/earphones/external speaker automatically transfer the sound to this device without changing the settings?
I would like to eliminate the sound when I adjust the volume on the sound icon in the lower right hand area of the task bar . Wat steps I can take to be able to still adjust the volume, but not hear the loud sound it makes when adjusting?
I was previously on Windows 7 and upgraded to 10 when the notifications came out last month. In W7 I was able to open the SOUND RECORDER program
and then record sounds from the video that was playing through the internet explorer I was using at that time. It did NOT matter which internet explorer I was using, be it IE or CHROME or FIREFOX, etc. I was previously able to open a video, for example youtube, and then record the sound that was playing into the SOUND RECORDER program, and then save that file on my desktop as a WMA.
I have not been able to find the SOUND RECORDER program in Windows 10. Is it gone? I've tried downloading a couple freebie programs that are similar to it, but they're not recording the sounds either. So now I'm thinking maybe Windows 10 bypassed or simply disregarded my sound card altogether, ? Is that a possibility?
I just installed the most recent windows 10 tech preview last night; but my sound blaster pci express sound card did not get installed correctly or something because i am getting no sound at all. I roll everything back to the old setup.
This started 2 days ago. When ever i alt tab my sound stops working and mic stops working. I then have to disable both my mic and speaker and re enable them to fix it.
I have recently deleted my audio drivers and reinstalled them but my microphone is not working. I have set the right microphone as the default device and changed the microphone volume to the max but it has not fixed anything.
I've found that when I start up my computer, after a random amount of time (but always when I'm away from my computer), my computer will do two things. First, the sound will shut off. No sound will play from any sources. Second, if I try to play a video, it will play very slowly and with a lot of stuttering.
I've tried getting this issue resolved with Microsofts technical support - but they appear to be clueless!
The default Windows 10 media app ('Film & TV') plays back my video files without any sound.....When I open the same videos with Quicktime or even the old Windows Media Player they play with sound absolutely fine.
I'd rather use the default app, so how to resolve this?
I installed Windows 10 four days ago. At that time I lost audio. Once I rebooted it came back. Last night when I shut down, Windows indicated it was doing an update.Today (even after rebooting) I have no audio. Not even a sound icon in the system tray. When I go through Properties to turn those icons on or off the Sound option is grayed back.
I have a Lenovo G570 laptop. I use the built in speakers. When I go to the Control Panel those speakers are still shown as the default speakers.When I check Device Manager and search for Driver Updates I get a a message that the drivers are up to date.
I no longer have sound on my computer after the install of Windows 10. I have turned the volume all the way up and I still don't get any sound. I had sound before the install so I am not sure what I need to do to get it back.
