Hi guys, First of all, let me say that I am a very tech savy person. I've been using windows since the 90s, used almost build computers, and code websites.. so most of the 'basic' trouble shooting I have done already. I have spent hours trying to find fixes for these problems. I have a 2012...

Hi Yesterday I helped my friend upgrade his Windows 7 computer to Windows 10. Everything went smoothly except the sound. Even though he has a different model of Sound Blaster card, (a SB X Fi Fatality Pro) he has the same issue that I did when I switched to Windows 10. After the update there...

I have windows 10, and for some reason I can't play midis. Everytime I want to play a midi, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program...

Hi guys I upgraded to Windows 10 today and found myself with difficulties. A while back my headphone jack snapped in the port so the laptop (ASUS K55A) wouldnt play through speakers as it always thought there were headphones plugged in. Im not sure if I did anything but it started to play...

Hey everyone, Yesterday I installed the free upgrade from Windows 10 on my Republic of Gamers laptop, previously running Windows 7. I'm having some pretty severe issues, the biggest being that audio basically only works whenever it wants. This is a big deal for me because I use my computer for...

Windows 10 system sounds are not working. It is set to windows default and I can test the sounds fine. Other sounds are working. Any ideas? :( It's not muted. Been trying to figure this out all day. :D

Hello. Today i am having issues with my pc's sound system. At random times, my microphone cuts out and picks up what i am hearing instead. People cant hear me over skype when this happens, but they can hear themselves. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks,

Hi Well I've been putting it off because I was going to clean install Windows 10 build 10041 on a different drive as a clean install, but Windows suddenly announced that it was rebooting to install "Windows". The only options were do it now or do it later so I said "Go" and after about 45...

So about a month ago my computers audio started to crackle and skip. Rebooting corrects the problem for about 30 minutes then its back to crackling. It happens while I play any sort of video game (Arma, Diablo III, Counter Strike) and it also happens when watching/listening to any sort of media...

One of the updates for my nice old Acer One (High Definition Audio) does not install. As we can't select updates, we simply have to install them all, that nasty failing update appears in all subsequent series of updates, which causes them all to fail. I think we really should have the...

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...

Good staff ... I wonder if Windows 10 Technical Preview will support sound cards from Creative Labs? I ask this because I have installed on my pc Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 and even acknowledging my sound card, a Creative X-Fi Platinum, will not let me open the associated programs to a...

Hi, When I want to go away from computer i usually turn off the monitor. When I come back and turn the monitor on (and press spacebar several times) I see no signal message, but the sound is still coming from my headphones. After I restart computer I see loading screen and... ...No signal...
