Windows 10 Audio problems Windows 10

[himan6516]

Audio works fine using my pc but after leaving it unattended with no audio playing it just seems to cut out. I come back and I'm not able to play any audio through headphones or speakers. When I restart my pc it works fine. If anyone has a fix for this it would be great. Otherwise I'm rolling back to Win7 until Win10 gets a little more finished

The audio cutting out issue you're experiencing could be related to various factors. Here are some troubleshooting steps to address this: 1. Update Audio Drivers: - Ensure your audio drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturer's website or use Windows Update to check for the latest drivers. 2. Check Power Settings: - Sometimes, power settings can disable audio devices to save power. Go to "Device Manager," locate your audio device, right-click -> Properties -> Power Management, and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." 3. Disable Enhancements: - In "Sound" settings, disable audio enhancements if enabled. Sometimes these enhancements can cause issues. 4. Troubleshoot Audio Service: - Run the Windows Audio troubleshooter by: - Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar -> Troubleshoot sound problems. 5. Check Background Programs: - Some programs or services might be taking over the audio. Check for any recently installed software or background processes that could interfere with audio. 6. Disable Fast Startup: - Disable Fast Startup to perform a clean boot every time: - Go to Power Options -> Choose what the Power buttons do -> Change settings that are currently unavailable -> Uncheck "Turn on fast startup." 7. Check Windows Update: - Sometimes, Windows updates can cause audio issues. Check for any pending updates and also ensure that all drivers are updated. If the issue persists, rolling back to Windows 7 temporarily might be a good solution until you can troubleshoot and resolve the audio problem in Windows 10.
