Thelma's PC...

Are you joking Lee, it is from the middle ages :) 2010

One of my PC's is a Dell from 2007 and it still runs like a champ. Only thing I've had to replace on it was the DVD drive a few years ago.
It actually runs better than my friends brand new PC from this year!

You guys move too fast for me, I can't keep up,

but I'll try to answer your questions later.

Thelma,

Open an elevated command prompt and either type, copy and paste this exactly as shown where the blinking cursor is, those are single spaces between the operators dir /s /b c:

Code:

dir /s /b c:\Windows\audiodg.exe

Then tap the enter or return key. you'll hear your machine working for a bit and you should see seven (7) entries like this:

Do you see any, all or none?

Off topic in the order I seen them:
I'm from Harrisburg, PA, but live about 10 miles Northeast of there in Cumberland county.

I'm happy you like the grammar program and it is working well for you.

That's why I need you to run the search above to see if you have any audiodg.exe files left on your machine, malwarebytes (mbam) has a nasty habit of removing them.

I get about 4 or 5 hours a night. Woke up with a crick in my neck of the woods.

When you and your friend cleaned those filters, were you careful not to knock anything loose, was the cleaning around the time you lost the sound??

You can step away, just let me know so I can move my foot.

If it is hardware what other than the plug do you suggest?

Yea, I have 15 new updates to scrutinize. Cooking? did someone say cooking?

Pale Ale, Strohrum's? I like my Scotch, but will take a guinness stout or bass ale.

Power out? yea, I was in bed, we had a slight chance for showers/ T-showers, but it turned out only moderate showers this morning.

Later.....Will be busy for the next few days, a good neighbor friend of 36years passed on Tuesday he was 86, will be going over to help the widow, funeral on Saturday.

When it rains it pours, eh thelma?

Clear skies everyone,

Steve

Hello, Anak :), The boss and Thread Starter to give me great help as you always do!

No, the clean was done a long time later and we were extremely carefull.

I am no going to perform this elevated Prompt and let you know what will be produced, hopefully 7 entries

Thanks Steve,

Ok, here the results: Files not Found

The first time it took about 5 minutes to come whit the result.

The second time ( I did it twice to rule out my dyslexia ) it took about one minute.

Is this bad or very bad ?

Mind you, a laptop with two speakers hanging on is not the end of the world, there are more serious things in live, like losing a dear friend, sorry to hear that Steve.

Good afternoon Sunshine, aka Anak. Sorry to know you lost a friend, drink a scotch for him.
You missed breakfast, I'm still getting the flavor out of my mustache.
Harrisburg ya say, well you better heal before old man winter pays a visit.
I stayed pretty busy while you slumbered. I pretty much put together a tutorial for newbies for a guy who is suffering fromwhat M$ can't seem to stop screwing up. Maybe you can look it over when your eyes are open and give me some feed back on the content and layout.

I pulled an od Compaq lappy off a shelf a little while ago, it's got XP so I don't think it's going to do me much good trying to helping thelma.
I do have several sets of earbuds and a very nice pair of Sony headphones which I seldom use. Maybe I should take them over there and see if we can make a deal for a dinner and some drinks?

thelma · 12 Nov 2015

Just thinking out loud, I did this test with the external spacers plugged in, should I take them away first perhaps ? Will this influence the result given ?

cyclops · 12 Nov 2015

I'll try that on my lappy and be back in a few

cyclops · 12 Nov 2015

This lappy is hung up on something right now, may need a hard powerdown and start over, POS

cyclops · 12 Nov 2015

Headphones plugged in kills the lappy speakers over here where one never knows what's going to work
