need help with strange (glitch?) with sound randomly not working
I do not know if this is common, or if im literally the only one in the universe with this issue, but its where applications (with the exception of FL studio evading it) take hogged control of the sound card or something.
Basically, I will have a skype call going, and editing video, youtube doesn't play sound, applications like sony vegas or ACID, will refuse to play because there is "no audio device" windows media player throws an "unknown error" which is "no sound card to play the file" and the only way to get them to work is to disable, and re-enable the sound card, then minimize and bring back up those applications and play them again, which doesn't bug me...
BUT audio recorders DROP the recording and delete it randomly at any given time because apparently "no sound card detected" even though windows sees it RIGHT THERE
the worst case is with camtasia recorder where AFTER capturing audio, if the sound card is "not there" according to it, it DELETES the AUDIO it ALREADY CAPTURED along with the video it captured because the sound device to capture system audio does not "exist"
I have looked all over the internet for a solution, and found nothing but the usual sound card driver installation failures
the same thing applies to the microphone (both internal mix and the ext jack) when skype is in a call
I HAVE re-installed my audio drivers SIX times over the course of a single day with NO remedy and factory resetting my laptop is NOT an option, i have stuff on it i cannot back up because i dont have the storage for it all, software I no longer have the licence keys for will have to be paid for again, and i do not want to re-customize my settings and custom icons for files without program association
