No sound since installing the latest Windows updates

A few days ago that my computer restarted itself after what I think was an update and since then I can't play any audio on the speakers. I am running a windows XP y at - there someone who can help with my problem?

If your computer suddenly refuses to play sounds, try the following steps.

First, restart. Then, make sure that the computer is not set to mute via the material. Press mute external, confirm that the speakers are turned on and turn the volume all the way. Test by playing a song or using the sound control panel (click on the sounds tab, choose asteriskand click Test).

If this does not work, see Windows. Click on the volume icon in the system tray and check that the audio is not muted and that it is turned up. Right click on the volume icon and clickOpen Volume Mixer. Ensure that all options are on and turned up.

Internal speakers still does not? Plug the headphones into the audio socket and test again. If the headphones work, remove them to continue to troubleshoot the internal speakers.

Then, right-click the icon for the volume again and choose playback devices. Make sure that your audio device (likely 'speakers') has a green check mark next to it. ClickProperties , make sure that "Use this device (enabled)" is selected.

If the sound still does not work at this point, you have a missing or damaged for your audio controller driver. Uninstall the driver by opening the Device Manager (typeDevice Manager into the start menu search box), go to sound, video and game controllers, select the audio controller and pressing the delete> key. Reboot and allow Windows to reinstall the driver, which it should do it automatically. If not, download the driver from the website of the manufacturer of your PC or the manufacturer of the sound card and reinstall manually.

    Hi Eugene,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    3. What is the number of KB of the update, after which the internet disconnects?

    [To view your history of update:]
    a. Open Windows Update by sliding into the right edge of the screen (or, if you are using a mouse, pointing to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse upward), touching or clicking on parameters, typing or clicking on Change PC, then type or by clicking on update and recovery.
    [ b. press or click on see your update history.]

    The question could arise if the specific update makes changes in the Windows network properties and the update package has been damaged. Other important reasons include the firewall from the security software, third-party software conflicts etc.

    In order to diagnose the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

  • Canon scan to folder (Server 2008 R2) from the latest Windows Updates (13 sep 2012) it doesn't work anymore...

    We have a few Multi functional Cannon, who were able to scan to folder to our file server 2008 R2 server.

    Since the latest Windows Updates (13 sep 2012) it doesn't work anymore...

    Nothing has changed for folders or shares. Actions are like:

    \\fs01\scans\IT

    Shared folder is \\fs01\scans

    Share permissions are full for everyone

    On the COMPUTER folder, only the service and the Canon scanner user have full conrol...

    When I turn off the firewall of Windows on the FS01, it works.

    Can I get a SMB = OK on the Multi functional.

    When I turn on the WIndows firewall, I get a SMB = NG on the multifuntional

    I checked the rules and everthing about file and printer sharing is allowed...

    Can someone please think about what to do?
    Because really don't want to go with Windows Firewall disabled.

    The Endpoint Protection 2010 Anti Virus is installed on the FS01, but given that disabling the Windows Firewall works, I don't think that the Anti Virus has nothing to do with it.

    Update: I tried two other servers 2008 R2 (with also the Windows Firewall on) and it works! So there's something wrong with this one server... But as far as I can see, the firewall has all the file and open sharing of printers of things... And when I connect with the Canon Scan on a PC user I can browse places very well.

  • Installed the latest important updates this morning; upon restart, the computer didn't work as expected. now behaves as if the motherboard is dead.

    This morning at appx. 1:30 AM PST, I installed the latest important updates from the Windows Update Manager on my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. I did manually, by a double click on the little icon in the toolbar and clicking on the button install. Once the update had completed, I clicked on the "restart later" button and close my computer using the Shut Down command - the usual symbol "click here to close and complete the installation" didn't appear. I thought it was a little weird, but chalked it up to the fact that I had taken the lead and made the installation.

    About an hour and a half later, after being able to get to sleep, I decided that I would try to do a job. I pressed the power button and my computer started well upward, giving me the ' now install, update (1/3) [percentage] completed. Do not turn off your computer. "message. Which is quite normal, let him do his thing without turning it off.

    The update is completed and I am greeted by my office. Displays the logon to Gmail Notifier window, and that's when my problems began: I tried to move the arrow to disappear, and the arrow has not moved. The circle of "transformation" had, next to the arrow, so I thought it must be a minor hiccup. I've waited, waited and waited... But even after all of my normal startup programs loaded, my mouse has failed.

    Pressing the Windows key to open the menu start does not work, either; It was as if everything had been disconnected. After waiting a few minutes, I decide that maybe I just need to restart and, given that my keyboard was not working, I pressed and held the power button until the system off (I know, I know, it's a horrible thing to do).

    I waited a minute, and then you press the power button. The lights came on, the fan spun, but the screen remains black as if I did nothing. I waited, because my computer arrived in the past tried to give me an attack of apoplexy by hanging several screens, but... nothing. The fan spun, the light shone their beautiful blue, but that's all.

    The only thing I have changed or done differently was the updates, I have not dropped my computer; I've not spilled something on or in I have a Targus chill mat that I use religiously. I download attachments from people I don't know no/trust (I can't, my antivirus program deletes attachments in emails from spam); I use Firefox with NoScript and anti-ad; My AV/Antispyware/malware program is always up to date and six types of awesome and more.

    My system is Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6000. I have an AMD Turion 64 x 2 processor and a Nvidia mobile graphics card (I don't remember exactly who he is; I can't the specs). I don't have a DVD of restoration, for reasons that did not need explores right now. I had my phone on... Two years, I think. I'll have to double check.

    I can't start in safe mode, because I get nothing - no POST, no beeps, without bumps. The CD/DVD drive makes some noises, as he is looking for a drive (there isn't one in the drive), and that's it.

    I think I have to take someone and make them open and see what's the problem, but I appreciate any thoughts/ideas/opinions/assistance that anyone can give. Thank you for your time and attention.

    Alas, no, the screen seems to be fine. He had not been acting funny before that, in any case. I checked out, and the external monitor just went to sleep because there is no signal.

    Thanks for taking a peek anyway. I guess it's a workshop for me and my laptop.

    Hi Laurence,.

    Please keep us updated on the status of the issue and apologize for the lack of communication.

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now online videos don't work on Firefox but on other browsers, does anyone else have this problem?

    After that download the latest version of Windows Update, I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or other sites. Switching to other browsers I found that I could play these same videos now without any problems. So I did a system restore to determine if updates of Windows had hit video play using Firefox. The restore point has been updated with the day before the download of Windows has occurred. After System Restore has been completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.

    To ensure that Windows Update has been the problem, I downloaded again the most recent Windows updates and once more could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System Restore has been used to put my computer on the eve again and once more the OE videos would play in the Firefox browser.

    In fact, your answer took me in a different direction and I found this on the Adobe site:

    The extension of RealPlayer for Firefox, the download and registration, has problems of compatibility with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to view a video.

    To work around the problem, do the following:

       Start RealPlayer.
    
       Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    
       Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    
       Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    

    Once I did this I could replay now videos in Firefox.

    ========

    Some notes - as mentioned in the article itself - updated only if you really must. Personally, I don't recommend do you it unless you're having problems with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

    General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but could introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

    It goes the same for Windows updates, OS update, drivers, etc - update/update updates IF you have any questions, you know are fixed in the new version or for some serious security problems. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you have difficulties
