Sound comes and goes
I never had issues with my sound until a couple of weeks ago or a week, I'm not sure. All of a sudden my sound no longer worked. I bought new speakers, I still couldn't get them to work, By the way, it is a onboard Realtec. I have installed the latest drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled. There is no issue with it in Device Manager.
Next I bought a Asus Xonar sound card. This didn't resolve the issue either, and it does show up in Device Manager without issues.
What's weird is that last night all of a sudden I hear the ding of email arriving. I was able to listen and watch a video, then it disappeared again.
All of the drivers are current. I believe it's an issue with Windows 7. I don't know what happened before it quit working, but I did a recover to last working configuration on bootup but that didn't resolve the issue either.
Anyone, please have any ideas what the issue is?
Thanks for all assistance.
