[SOLVED] Everything’s fine and suddenly audio goes out

August 5th, 2016

I’m listening to music and stuff everything working just fine but then, sometimes when I try to reproduce a song windows media player says it cannot be reproduced because of a problem with the sound device, same happens with videos and the only when to fix it is restarting the computer. why does this happen? I already uninstalled my audio driver (Realtek) and installed it again but it didn’t solve the problem.
ps: It’s not just windows media player, same happens with other players… computer is left completely without sound!!

Answer #1
UN-install your audio driver using an uninstaller tool!
Now download the latest drivers and install back!
Answer #2
Running Vista or XP?
There’s a known bug with Vista for older chipsets that cuts off sound devices randomly. I’ve experienced it myself a long time back

What a “KNOWN” bug, -it’s pure bull sh-it my friend.
just chipset is too old for Vista, not bug in Vista.

well but maybe that’s what is affecting my audio… the strange thing is windows update doesn’t mention I need update.

You�re on XP not Vista, so how Vista can affect your comp? From other hand, if you downloaded SP3, then yes-SP3 can affect your sound.
Answer #7
could it be that this had something to do with DirectX? ’cause I “updated” (” ” ’cause I’m sure I had the latest one) it the error has not happened again.
thanks all of you for your help! appreciated.
