No noise in web browsers, probably due to the update of windows

Background-

A week ago, my browser (firefox) has stopped playing all sounds. Spotify, Winamp, etc. were all still works fine, so I assume that it was not pregnant-related, but rather something to do with the browser. I checked the updates of the plugin, flash etc, everything was up to date. I tried another web browser (Google Chrome), same problem. I then tried the things usually offered on the internet such as checking msacm32.drv is present, check that nothing is cut in the mixer volume, also attempted to execute a file that fixed my registry, but I received an error. I also ran a codec tweak tool & who said everything was fine.

I ran out of ideas so don't have a restored system about a week ago (about when I thought that the problem started), and voila, my sound was back.

However, windows this morning updated itself (I'm on windows vista), and now my sound disappeared again. As I am quite computer illiterate, I am struggling to understand what is causing the problem.

The installed updates today were:

  • My Lotus iNotes will no longer send emails due to the update of windows

    My Lotus iNotes is no longer send emails, however still receives. I keep getting error messages. It's already happened and my work, IT supports the Office told me that it was due to a Windows security update, but my computer has recently updated its self, does anyone know what update would it?

    Hello

    1. What is the full/exact error message?

    2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    3 is specific to the program the issue?

    Initially check updates have recently been installed on the computer.

    See the Windows updates are installed

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

    Follow the steps and check if that helps.

    Method 1: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

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

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Method 2: The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable the anti-virus and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3: System Restore -it takes the computer to the point when the problem did not exist. See if you can find a restore point right where the problem had not demonstrated upward.
    Reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

    What is system restore?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

    After restoring the computer to a previous point, you need to install the update, one at a time to verify the update is the cause of the problem.

  • Windows Vista crashes due to the update of windows

    I just reinstalled Windows Vista 32 bit on my Lenovo PC after experiencing problems due to a virus. However, during the execution of that Windows update, I started noticing problems because my computer would freeze randomly.

  • Svchost.exe CPU / out max memory due to the update of Windows

    I'm having a problem with a svchost.exe process running the CPU at 100% and more than 200 000 K of memory.  The service seems to be related to Windows Update (PID 6408).  Is there any solution for this?

    Hi SF340_Driver,

    (1) you get an error message?
    (2) how did you get the information that the problem is related to Windows Update?

    Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

    See the link below
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-Svchost-exe

    Method 1:  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to STEP7 followed normal startup in the link.

    Method 2: Run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool

  • Download problems window 10 due to the failure of window into account.

    Dear all,

    I had a problem with my user profile. It all started a year ago when my computer crashed, and we had to get fixed little. Once we have installed Kaspersky to make sure that never happened again. But I just noticed that my computer is not fair since the crash. But I let it go. But since the release of Windows 10. I noticed that my user profile has been wrong in a way. I had created a standard account and now it seems that it has become the administrator and my administrator is my account stander. I can't get Windows 10 in my administrator account (supposed to be standard). At my level (supposed to be administrator) account I can find the link, but it goes on to say that I have to log as administrator to download. But I can't because my current administrator (supposed to be standard) cannot download. I tried to get 2 administrator but that do not work (I tried several ways) and I have tried to make a new account, but that does not work either. I can not also change types of my account because of some problems (I click on administrator but it does not change). Please I need help. Help me please.

  • Is there no way to create a separate mobile site now this Muse creates only sensitive Web sites? Due to the nature of my site, sensitive aspects create a lot more problems than they fix. How can I go back to an older version of Muse?

    I've updated Muse about 13 days ago and since that time, it was a nightmare trying to get the 'sensitive' aspects to cooperate. I don't want to create a website full of places so that sensitive aspects working fluidly. I have images that overlap that separate that they respond to the reduction in the browser. I liked having the opportunity to work separately mobile aspects of my site and now I was just facing a lot of new revisions to do this upgrade.

    Is it possible for me to go down to just before Muse these new updates or always have the opportunity to work with mobile versions of the site separate from the desktop version? These new updates make almost a waste of time for me to use the Muse.

    Hello

    I use Samsung laptop computer with Windows 7 (Home edition) running on it, and recently I restored my Windows using the built-in Restore tool Samsung earlier restore point.

    I have had 2 drives IE C: and D: drive. Previously, windows has been installed in the C: drive and I kept my n drive D: personal data. After the successful restoration I don't see my personal data in the D: drive and I see that all drive C: files were copied on the D: drive (C: all files on the system disc such as Program FIles, windows, Documents, and settings etc.) and new windows were installed in drive C :

    I can't see any of my personal files and folder and I would like to get them back because they were very important to me.

    Can someone help me how do to recover my files and personal files that were saved in the D: drive earlier?

    Thank you!

    Kind regards

    I want to get them back because they were very important to me.

    You can probably resolved problem, but doing so through this forum is not realistic. You ask a computer-savvy friend to help you by looking at your machine or giving him access to your machine remotely. You should also check your philosophy of backup. Having very important files without an external backup is a contradiction, that you have to solve.
