My computer stopped playing sound

So if anyone can help me I would REALLY appreciate it. I recently installed McAfee on my computer for his protection and then used for a while and then stop it. A few days later I turned it back and now I can't hear any sound out of what it is. I checked my sound settings on my control panel and they said that everything works well, but if I try to play Pandora, iTunes or a youtube video, no sound. It was working fine before. If this could have something to do with installed McAfee? Please help because it is not that big of a fair deal now (apart from the fact that I have a kinda useless computer!) but I'll soon make school and need to watch/listen to conferences. Can anyone help? Please and thank you!

  • HDMI has stopped playing sound using Vista

    I have been using a HDMI cable to play Netflix on my TV via a laptop computer for a couple of years.  Suddenly, yesterday, I hooked it up and plays the video but not sound.  The sound comes through the speakers.  I went on several forums looking for answers to the problem "hdmi will not play sound" and none of the solutions work.

    For example, I did this: click Start, go to control panel, go in where it says hardware and audio and click the words 'Hardware and Sound', then the third option down, is "Sound". On the right under 'Sound', he says 'manage Audio devices '. Click on that and then click on where it says "device (HDMI) digital output" when that highlights, go down and click on "Set as default", then click on 'OK '.
    I do not see the DEVICE of DIGITAL (HDMI) OUTPUT in the box "manage audio devices" and it can be a problem, but what is confusing to me, is that I used to be able to play sounds without any problem, and now I can't.
    Something has changed, but I don't know what.  Microsoft has made an update that now interferes with the sound hdmi?

  • Satellite U500-1F5 - portable computer stops playing games

    The problem is that my laptop stop just when I start a game. This has not happened before, but when I try to run Mass effect 3 or crysis 2, it just stops. It is not always shuts down, only sometimes.

    Could be a problem of high temperature.

    In the case where your isn t too high temperature, I recommend you to update or reinstall the graphics driver may be a problem with the graphic driver too.

  • Computer only plays do not sound in my headphones, tried everything

    My computer was fine to play sounds, I got up and came back an hour later, my headset does not light and no sound was done (also the attached microphone was not picking up sound). My computer has played sound through its president very well when I had no headphones in so I tried with a pair of headphones that I know work and it has not always played. They are already my default, and I don't know what to do.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • Computer stops in normal mode. Do not use the safe mode, because I have no sound, or security out there, please help?

    Computer stops in normal mode quickly. Do not use in safe mode, because I have no sound or security, please help?

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
    This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
    who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

    Support of system Maker.

    Expert overview stopped playing the sound on track 1.  How it went?

    Michael Lewin-Harris

    I do not see your post 3 up to what I had posted the message 4.

    Very important information that this current audio problem is not be seen in other new projects.

    Because you use first items 12 and because of the involvement of the narration in the symptoms, I tend to believe that your question is related to that of Llamadude and others described in the blog post link in post 4. Try focusing on this factor to rule it in or out.

    Despite these reports and comments that the fix described works, I was never able to reproduce the problem so that I can study to get the reasons why.

    Looking forward to your results according to your schedule.

    Thank you.

  • Why my windows media player stops playing a video clip when I drag her to a second monitor?

    I have tried to read a video on a second monitor by using the operation drag and drop method. But every time I do the video stops working (even if the sound isn't yet). Is there a download that will allow me to play the video?

    Video takes a lot of memory in the computer to manage, sound does not need as much memory and that's why you will always hear.  Did you check to see that you still have a lot of space memory hard drive?  What are the specifications of your computer compared to what you need to run Media?  Before drag you it to another monitor, it works ok?  You may need to increase the speed of your computer, if not live without doing this operation.

    Hello Salman,

     

    Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.

    The computer stops all playing games.

    The question may be pilots because of the interruption by corrupt or third-party programs.

    What is the brand and model of the computer?

    To check if the issue is due to the interruption by corrupted drivers or third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:

    Method 1:

     

    See the site:

     

    The problems of the game performance

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/fixing-game-performance-problems

    You can get the drivers for the graphics card on the site:

    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&DwnldID=20598

     

    Method 2: Clean boot

     

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    See the mentioned site:

    How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

    Hi, lesliefromhowell!

    Thank you for reaching out by Apple Support communities. After reading your post, I understand that your iPod Classic does not. I count on my iPod for music on the go and want to make sure that you can use your own without problem!

    Relying on the buttons have not helped get the iPod to start playing or to restart, please follow the steps outlined in the article below to reset your iPod.

    Learn how to reset your iPod

    You'll want to use the instructions under the "iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)" section. These instructions are the following:

    iPod, iPod (scroll wheel), iPod (touch wheel), and iPod (dock connector)

    To reset your iPod, follow these steps:

    1. Slide the Hold switch to the locked position and then come back!
    2. Hold down Menu and Play/Pause all buttons until you see the logo Apple/iPod (about 6-8 seconds). You may need to repeat this step.

    If you can always reset your iPod, follow these steps:

    1. Connect your iPod to a power adapter and plug the adapter into a power outlet.
      You can also connect your iPod to your computer. Make sure that the computer is on and that it is not set to go to sleep.

    Not sure if the upgrade had nothing to do with it, but shortly after 9.3 and 9.3.1 my phone stopped making selected stamps.  It will play the sound when you select in settings, so I know he can make noise, but it does not ring when I get a call or play sounds selected for texts or alerts.  Any ideas on what could be bad?  Since he was silent, I put it to blink a led me to warn me, but I have it right in front of me to notice.  Haven't checked vibrator because I don't like the sound of vibrator and I never have it in my Pocket anyway.  Thank you!  Mary
