No sound after Windows updates - don't Please Help!

I just finished a full restore my system back to factory settings because I had no noise whatsoever.  After doing this, I had sound for a while, until some update has been installed and now I have not YET healthy.  It's extremely frustrating!  Given that the sound worked until one of the many updates has been installed, this leads me to believe that the update is the cause of the problem.  When I click on the sound tab, it shows that everything is working ok.  I tried everything I can think of to remedy to this problem.  I uninstalled, reinstalled and updated the driver for the sound.  It does not work.  I tried to use the restoration of the system to an earlier time and that doesn't work anymore (because there was not a lot of restore points because I had to complete my system restore.)  I don't know what to do to solve this problem.  I'd do another complete restore of my system, but I'm afraid that the updates will cause the same issue.  I'd appreciate any help!

  • No Logitech G35 headset sound after Windows updates

    Original title: last updated

    Twenty minutes earlier on 11/08/2011 my self out of the windows updated. After the update has been installed and restarted my computer, my logitech g35 headset is not working properly. If I turn them off in the control panel and reactivate as default device, I get 1-3 seconds of the sound before they be cut again. So two questions. 1 What is this happened to someone else. 2. how to fix it.

    Hi Hexter23,

    1. what application you are trying to use the headset?

    2 update did you recently installed on the system?

    3. are you able to hear the music / sound through normal speakers?

    Method 1:

    You can consult the following link and run the troubleshooter of audio playback, if it helps.

    Tips for solving common audio problems

    Method 2:

    If the previous step fails, then manually, download and install the latest audio drivers for the card its installed on the computer by visiting the sound card manufacturer or computer manufacturer's website and check if that helps.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    Hope this information is useful.

  • No sound after Windows update

    Automatically updating Windows and now I have no sound. If I play something about winamp output volume meter shows that it plays but no sound, I checked the speaker system on another computer and it is also ok. It seems that a few other people have the same problem.

    Hello

    There are 2 ways to solve this problem:

    Go to your computer, or your sound card, the manufacturer Web site > looking for drivers and downloads Section > put in your computer or sound card (if you installed it yourself) model number > find your operating system > download and install drivers etc you will find Audio.

    __________________________________________

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: Audio, graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    'Remove an update - Windows 7'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/remove-update#1TC=Windows-7

    When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

    Hello

    It seems that there is a problem with his Yamaha card driver after the installation of the Microsoft Windows XP SP2.

    Seems that you need to update the audio driver of Yamaha!

  • spectrum 360: no sound after windows update

    Hello

    As a result of an update to windows 10 for the anniversary edition, I had problems with the sound.

    It says the audio device not detected.  I uninstalled the audio drivers and reinstalled them and it will work, but after restarting the computer, it gives the same error.  Sometimes a reboot it will work again, otherwise have to reinstall again.

    I couldn't run constantly, so I restored windows on the previous generation and it works well again.

    Anyone had this problem or could fix?

    Thank you

    Thank you.

    I ended up doing something like that.  I uninstalled the program conexant himself and installed an older driver (9.0.57.0), and so far it has worked.  I got the driver from the hp support page.

    The new driver worked until a reboot, then had to be reinstalled again.

    I thank once again.

    Hi there dmaclatchy,

    It sounds slipped you can not use the app phone on your phone, because the sound is uneven or inaudible and something is happening with your music do not let play. I want to quit all applications running on the phone:

    Force an app to close the iOS

    1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
    2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
    3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

    When you have done that reboot the device and test again the question:

    iOS: switch off and on (restart) and reset

    If the problem persists, save your device in iTunes, then restore it like new and verify that it works.

    How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups

    If this is the case, restore your backup either check it still works and just reinstalled software or circumvent the problem in the backup file itself. Let us know how it goes! Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
    Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.
