was working fine, my kid was on youtube watching vids and as far as i can tell didnt change anything but now i cant get any music or video files to play sound through vlc or media player, the video plays fine but no sound,
video and sound work fine on youtube though, ive done a system restore to 3 days ago but that hasnt helped
any help please i still havent found a solution for this.
I'll guess that you checked the speaker jack, the volume is up, and it is not muted. And I'll guess that you checked the volume mixer and volume controls as well
Have you tried headphones?
I sat in front of a PC for 5 or 10 minutes wondering why it wouldn't boot - disks spun, lights blinked..
along comes a colleague and turns the monitor brightness up - sheesh! This was a longggg time ago.
I'm looking at the g-15 page to see if there are any other keys "the kid" might have clicked that are predefined for sound operations.
I'll post anything relevant, but you know the keyboard better than I do (I don't know the keyboard at all)
Well, that was fruitless - you can do a lot with that keyboard.
One place I forgot was Sound-> playback
Another anecdotal story: I was Skyping with one of my daughters and she couldn't hear me. Looking through Skype I found nothing - went to sound and saw that only my communications headset was ticked, not the internal mic. That wasn't that long ago
Sorry I couldn't help

thanks for the help Slarty, ive checked through all the obvious stuff but i know everything is working fine because i can go onto youtube and i can hear fine on there,
seems odd thats its VLC and windows media player so kind of rules out that its just a setting that was changed, what ever happened effected both players could the codecs gone bad or would that also effect youtube?
Hi there,
I am having the same issue as MaxHeadroom and wondering if you ever were able to resolve the problem? I checked the things that Slartybart suggested and still nothing.
What is your guys default playback devices, and what output is vlc set to use? Windows media player should use default regardless.
Thanks rvcjew for responding. Windows Media Player is set to the default settings and VLC is the same as what you have shown in your response.
I should mention that I also found a Youtube video that suggested to turn off windows features, disable WMP and restart computer, then enabled it and restart again. It did not resolve the issue.
Thanks again for trying to help.
I'm having the same issue, no audio for anything I download from email but youtube works just fine. Anyone figure anything out???
Have you guys installed anything like ffdshow or mad vr? K lite codec , or shark pack ring a bell?
