sound issues

Hi Today I opened my email client, and it was like I just installed it. All my accounts, mail, and address books were gone. I had to set it up all over again. I had had it open earlier and it was all normal. Along with the sound issues, the fact that my keyboard light don't work, and the...

So I just upgraded my Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, and before I upgraded my computer recognized my Turtle Beach X12's as a headset and a microphone. When I plugged in my headphones it only used them as a headset and didn't work as a microphone. How can I make...

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...

Hi Yesterday my wife was forced to upgrade her computer to Windows 8.1. She called to me that she couldn't close the update screen, so I went an looked at her laptop. She was right, there was no option but to go ahead with the upgrade. Everything else was grayed out. You couldn't even shut...

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...

My son has a Intel Q9300 CPU machine on a bran new motherboard & a PSU more than enough with a HD4870 GPU. Now the problem is, sometimes when he boots up the machine, it stutters once desktop has loaded. The mouse sticks like its suffering from lag. Everything he does on the machine suffers from...

Hi I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 but I've had problems with it. As long as I'm running Windows 8 and my sound is fine. When I upgraded to Windows 8.1, Windows installed new sound drivers and my sound is distorted especially computer generated speech, and sound in computer games. After a...

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...

Today i have installed windows 7 on 64 bits and i just cannot get past this problem with the sound. I have a 5.1 surround audio system and have installed the latest Realtek HD audio driver on my pc to get all the speakers going. After the installation of the driver every sound came with...

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...

I have a lenovo laptop with windows 8.1. The jack used to work perfectly on my laptop but it doesn't anymore. Windows will still pop up the jack plugged in message but it just won't play any sound on my headphones. The speaker works just fine, and I have searched through all over the Interwebs...

My sound is very scratchy, usually when i skype with multiple people, or skype with one person and play games at the same time, as if my computer cannot handle 2 sources of sound at the same time. This happens with my speaks and headphones so it is not a hardware problem. all drivers are up to...

Hello there community! I have a severe mic issue that I'm going to try to explain in as much detail as humanly possible so prepare, this could be a LONG post. When I start GMod, the 1st time I try to use my mic people say they can hear me but theres a little static. The 2nd time and after...

I've been using my UX2 interface for a long time, running with ASIO4All. In order to do that, I had to deactivate MS GS Wavetable Synth due to issues while running both at the same time. This has worked fine the last months: the only thing I couldn't do was running things like YouTube, Windows...

Hi A while back I updated to Windows 8.1 and had sound problems with very distorted sounds especially for speech and in games. I'd like to update again, but today I looked to see if the problems had been fixed by Creative. I found new drivers for my SB Recon3D PCIe sound card and installed...

Hi there, i run windows 7 on my laptop. Unfortunately my sound constantly disappears when i play games. it also wont play sound on a 3rd program (e.g. skype call and youtube open, then the game will have no sound). Sometimes when i set it to sleep or close the program the sound comes back...

Okay, so, I have issues dealing with the fact that I have windows 7 installed on a 32 gig Solid State, meaning that I perpetually don't have enough space for anything, but that's not my problem, it just might be related to my problem. My problem is that I turned off my computer, and it...

My speakers are disabled on my windows 7 laptop, it shows on the icon that they are on but when I try to play something they don't work. Before it would have a red X on them but that has gone away. I opened my computer and watched a youtube video and when I clicked to watch the next one they...
