Not sure if it was the most recent updates that did it or if it was just random, but...my sound has stopped working. OCCASIONALLY right after I restart, I can get the sound to work for a few minutes, but that's about it. (I'm running Windows 8.1, by the way.)
I've tried the troubleshooter and it claims there's no issue. Sound card is there and working as far as I can tell; it's all enabled. I'm not muted or anything quite that trivial. I would try uninstalling an update, but I'm not sure that would even help. Prior to the update, my sound had started becoming distorted at time and a little crackly. Nothing too drastic or often, so I wasn't too bothered. Obviously, I am bothered by a complete lack of sound.
I have no idea whether or not headphones work still. I haven't been able to get the speakers working long enough to try them. "Fixit" claims it won't work with my computer, so I can't try that alternate troublershooter.
I've read every message board imaginable and updated and re-updated all my drivers. Not the issue. I have no idea what's wrong and no idea how to fix it, but it needs to be fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.
