sound issues

I have windows 8.1 and i had to use a splitter adapter which allow my 3.5 mm headphones with a inline mic to be alble to use on my computer. I can use the mic on steam but not skype. When i go to Recording devices it does show that the mic is making noise but when im on Steam it shows that i...

The sound on Windows 10 on my computer is finicky. When I'm playing a media file through VLC media player the sound tends to get confused and fade in and out of my speakers, but not when playing sites like YouTube or Netflix. It is also in my headphones. I checked the drivers and they are all up...

Let me tell you the terrifying (Not really) tale of the ghost of Windows 7. It started on a wednesday, just like this one (or a Thursday in another time zone) A man had upgraded to the latest windows 10 and for the last week has been enjoying it for the most part. But then update KB3081424 came...

Immediately after i upgraded to 10, no audio in coming through speakers or even headphones. I don't know how to fix it, so can someone help?

I installed Windows 10 last night and I can not get audio through the 3.5mm jack to my speakers. Its a simple stereo setup with a subwoofer. My desktop uses VIA HD Audio and I've tried using all the playback devices options and nothing works. I also got Windows 10 on my laptop. The laptop...

Mike I'm not trying to fix this, I'll see what happens in the next build, (I'm still on 10074) but I just noticed that none of my Windows sounds will play, either my custom sounds or the default Windows sounds. What's weird about this is that unlike a lot of earlier builds all my other sounds...

Hello! This ks my first post here and I recently upgraded to Windows 10 build 10130 from Windows 8.1 and noticed my pc wouldn't play sound unless headphones or a speaker was plugged in. Is it a build problem or am I just forgetting something? Any help?

Hi I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way that build 10074 is working. I haven't had issues with my sound and Cortana seems to be working pretty reliably. Some things don't load at startup or coming out of sleep mode some time. But there is one thing that's not, and that's the right...

I had not realized, but there is no output coming from my front left or right 5.1 speakers. I swapped the connections and the speakers work. I booted into 8.1 and all the speakers work normally. I can't think of any settings which might cause this to happen. So it looks like 10061 has a...

Hi I found this, while searching online for a way to stop my audio drivers from updating all the time. Maybe everyone already knows this, but I hadn't found it before so it was new to me. Previously I tried to do it through Windows Update Settings with no luck. I can't say for sure that it...

A number of days ago audio on my laptop suddenly vanished. When I click the sound icon, which is accompanied by the red 'mute', a troubleshooter opens and fails to fix the problem. I've scoured the internet regarding fixes (the run services solution will not work - an error comes up proclaiming...

Hello, me and a friend wanted to start up a youtube channel together. but when my friend opened Dxtory, I heard static on her end. Another problem is when her mouse is plugged in, it also causes static. any one got any solutions?

Each build of Windows 10 that is released -- or leaked -- is a step closer to the finished product. We now know that we're building up to a by-the-end-of-summer launch, but there are still plenty of bugs to iron out. Some problems have been fixed but others remain, and if you're having audio...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to figure out a fix (along with looking around in the forums) for a few hours now, but I'm worried about my computer. I have a Lenovo with 8.1 installed and today I got a notification that my computer was going to restart and update, which it did without any...

Hi Just when I thought I had everything fixed Windows forced me to update my sound drivers again. I couldn't find any way to stop it, it showed that what it was updating was my Sound Blaster drivers. In the previous build I could tell it not to update those drivers but I don't see that option...

Hi I just got through setting everything up in build 9926. Most of the problems I had with the previous build have been fixed. My keyboard lights work, but the Caps Lock key doesn't work exactly as it should. The Caps Lock key does turn on Caps Lock, but it won't turn it off again. To turn it...

Hi I was still trying to decide whether to do a clean install this morning. I was checking to make sure that Guild Wars 2 was working after my recent redo of my second hard drive when the game suddenly closed and the message, "Windows need to restart several times to finish updating". I had...

I have Windows 7 on my laptop and yesterday I created a partition for Ubuntu. All was right, but I noticed that when I try to hear music from my headphones on Windows I could not do it. In Ubuntu there was not any problem, only happened in Windows. I can hear music from my laptop's speakers, but...

Hi I'm sitting here making the second backup of everything on the drive I'm going to install the new build on. I'm a worrier, what if my backup drive failed right after I wipe my hard drive? LOL Unfortunately I installed all of my Windows 10 software on this drive so I have to format it and...
