Windows 7: Sound randomly turns off

Sound randomly turns off

For some reason my sound either mutes or is lowered when I play team fortress 2. I thought this was just a game problem, but now it randomly goes off for no reason at all. I tried fiddling with the device properties and that just makes the sound go out as well. My built-in mic isn't working either.



I tried re-installing the drivers from dell's website but they don't fix anything. Should I just go back to XP or vista?

Hi Eshros and welcome,

You might set the communications property to "Do nothing" and see if it still does it.

I tried that already, did nothing. I fixed it by disabling the microphone - not an ideal solution, but it works for me because I don't really ever use my microphone.
