Audio only works for a few minutes
Toshiba laptop, windows 7 home premium. i3 4 gb ram
Recently audio stopped working in the sense that i was getting no sound, but the volume control showed "normal" messed around rebooted it came back, lasted a few days then went out. This time the volume icon was X'd out, couldn't get it to work so i uninstalled audio devices from control panel and rebooted.
Audio device was reinstalled, audio worked. started testing by watching a YouTube video, it worked for about 30 seconds and then the sound disappeared, BUT the audio icon worked and showed "activity" when i opened it..
checked services and redundancies, everything is running ...
rebooted again, system sounds worked, went to youtube, no sound, went to Vimeo, sound worked on first video for about 10 seconds, then stopped, system sounds stopped.
when i reboot, sound returns for a short period of time, then just stops.
what could be happening here?
Any ideas how to resolve this?
