    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?

    Windows 10 Right click menu from the start button not working?

    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...

    Windows 10 Just Noticed, 10061-no front speaker output!!

    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...

    Windows 10 Stop driver updates?

    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...

    Windows 10 Still having sound issues...

    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...

    Windows 7 ¿Can anyone help me with my headphones?

    Windows 8 Question about upgrading to Windows 8.1 and losing Media Center?

    Hi As everyone here probably knows I had issues with sound when I updated to Windows 8.1. Recently I've been running Windows 10 Technical Preview and my sound works fine. That is until I added Windows 8.1 Media Center to it. When I did that my sound problems returned just as they were before...

    Windows 8 Question about virtual box?

    Hi Just a really quick question about running a OS in VMware Player (I said VB in the title and I can't change it now). I installed Ubuntu into VMware Player and it runs really slow. Everything works even the sound but video stutters etc, I'm assuming that's because my computer is really...
