  1. The audio does not work


    I installed my system about 2 months ago and everything was fine until today, I can't hear anything from any game so I tried to fix the problem. However, I found that my audio just doesn't work. I'm not sure what I did, but every time I try to open the sound in the system menu it freezes and I can still hear everything but the game.

    :)

  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
