My issue may overlap Godot's.
My sound went out while music was playing, from a music site. I was out of the room but heard a loud vibrating, grating sound lasting a second or 2. I discovered I had no sound, tried to play from other sources, other sites, youtube, etc. NADA. I then realized my speaker light was off. I tried resetting, tried different usb ports, etc. NADA. I searched , ran microsoft checks which said my drivers are fine, hardware is fine, everything A-OK. but NADA. I did just about all the moves Godot made.prior to posting his problem here..
I purchased a driver reset that was recommended by PC Mag, and rest 15 drivers. I tried different output devece settings. NOTHING. I shopped around for new speakers, confused, but then thought it would make sense to try headphones. NADA.
I think something had done an update just prior to the initial mess-up. Not sure whether it had been Firefox or Windows 10. That was over a month ago.
TODAY! Oddly, a pop-up suddenly said Windows Media Player did not disconnect properly. - I think that was what it said, and when I followed it it said THIS APPLIES TO WINDOWS 7 !!!. I haven't been using Win7 for 3-4 years. Can an update from Windows have confused my sound system? Switched it back to Win 7? FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE!
Where can I go from here? Dell Inspiron desktop 7 year old comp, in use 6 years, orig used Win 7. Lots of unused potential, because I don't download movies. Music on my computer involves my own music
only, essentially, plus use of music sites like youtube, etc. - without much downloading.
Does this make any sense? Your help would be very, very much appreciated. -from magicmagic3
