audio drivers

Hi I Refreshed my computer and just when I got everything working great, Windows updated without asking me and killed my sound again. Now I'll have to figure out how to restore my original drivers again. I looked and it clearly shows that it updated my Sound Blaster drives which I didn't want...

Hi Windows updated my sound drivers again, I saw that is was doing it but couldn't stop it. And once more my sound quit working. I need to get Windows to run the drivers that work for my card. I seems that, if you have drivers that work it should let you chose to use them. Anyone have any...

I have a very weird problem where Windows plays everything too fast, whether it's music on iTunes or videos on Youtube. I started noticing it a week ago. I was confused so I opened up some DJ software I bought (Cross DJ) and sure enough if I pitched songs down by 8% everything sounded normal, so...

So recently the sound on my machine will randomly stop working- no apps produce sound, Chrome doesn't, not even the system sounds. I posted about this on another forum which told me to check for hardware changes in the device manager, but that doesn't seem to be working, or at least not...

Hi friends, I am using Windows 8. I am facing an issue with my sound all on a sudden. The volume icon on the task bar has a red cross on it. When I hover on that it says 'No speakers or headphones plugged in' (attachment-1). When I click on the icon I get a screen like attachment-2 which...

After using Windows 8 for almost a year without any any issues, I found myself suddenly having this issue: there are times that the audio just suddenly stops working. For most of the time, though, the audio's ok when I turn on the computer. But after a while I can't hear anything anymore from my...

Hi. 1) The problem: Until recenty, I had sound. One day, I put my computer into sleep mode overnight (as I've always done). The next day, I brought it out of sleep mode and... silence. I'd made no changes to my settings and hadn't installed anything on my computer between the two sessions...

Okay, so I got a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5545 laptop from a friend since she got a new one and didn't need that one anymore (she was about to throw it away so I rescued it). At first it had Windows Vista 32bit installed on it, and I formatted it and tried to install it over again. The...

I am using an LG HBS730 bluetooth headset that has perfect sound quality on both my iPhone and iPad. However, on my Windows 8 laptop, the quality is low and very poor. My drivers have been updated and disabling the microphone on my headset did not fix the quality. When I initially installed...
