[QUOTE="BIGBEARJEDI, post: 689812, member: 71113"] Win8 has lots of driver issues as well as security issues which let viruses in and can disable any or all of your devices. I recommend you update to Win8.1 *you need to check [U]EXACTLY[/U] which version of W8x you have on your computer*, and most likely that problem will disappear, :up:assuming you don't have any nasty viruses lurking in there.:pirate: If that doesn't work, you should do a virus cleanup/removal or pay a licensed Computer Tech to do for you, and don't think for a minute that upgrading to W10 will fix this particular problem if it's virus-related! :noway: If this is the case, and neither of the above remedies work for you, take a look at this detailed post on virus cleanup I did today for another forum user here: [URL="https://windowsforum.com/threads/wi-fi-speed-is-extremely-slow-since-installing-windows-10.226053/#post-689758"]Windows 10 - Wi-Fi speed is extremely slow since installing Windows 10[/URL] This solution set is actually for a User with very slow Wi-Fi Internet on W10; but the troubleshooting and virus removal steps are the same for W8/W8.1 You can save yourself some time by checking the version of W8x you are running [I]*either W8 or W8.1*[/I] on your computer. If you have W8.1, you can backup your stuff to external media first, and jump into to virus removal section and try to remove the virus you may have and see if it brings your sound back. If it does, you're all fixed!:up: If it doesn't read down through the link I gave you and get started with Troubleshooting using my free [B]TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE[/B]; link included above.
