  1. Audio broke after update


    I updated a few days ago and after booting up a game the system crashed and showed me a blue screen.

    After looping back and forth between booting up the computer and going back to the blue screen it finally stopped after an attempt at repair.

    So Im at my desktop any everythings fine now right? well now because now my computer can't locate any sound devices connected to it. I messed around with it and it finally recognizes my speakrs but it wont play any sounds. try to play test sounds prompts up the error: "failed to play test tone".

    Please, if anyone has an anwser, I would be greatful.

  3. AUDIO SERVICE NOT WORKING.

    Hi,

    In that case, I suggest you follow below.

    Step 1:

    In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, then select it from the results.

    Step 2:

    Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it.

    Step 3:

    Look for IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. If it's listed, right-click it and select Update Driver, then select Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

    Step 4:

    You’ll see a list of pre-installed drivers. Select High Definition Audio Device, and then select Next.

    Step 5:

    Restart PC

    Let me know the results after performing the above.

    Regards
