Sound Suddenly Not Working (and Flash videos choppy)
Hi, so my problem is very similar to the one in this person's thread: Sound not working?
Basically, my sound is no longer working. This all happened while my laptop was on. It was working for a couple hours, then I just put it on standby. Came back to it and it lost its sound. I also went to YouTube to try if sound would work there, and it didn't, but I noticed that the videos are choppy/laggy. But I tried a .avi I had and it worked fine.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the audio drivers, no cigar. Disabling/re-enabling in device manager, no help.
What i did notice was that my laptop was running really hot;70°-80° Celsius WITH a laptop cooler, which is really bad, i know (I plan on reapplying some thermal grease on it next week). Is it possible that my laptop overheated and fried my sound card? (but it doesn't explain why flash videos like YouTube started lagging.)
