Speakers stopped functioning suddenly !
I'm pretty much when it comes to these stuffs.. so here it goes..
What should I do next ? I tried googling & was scared to test different methods listed around, I didn't want to break anything around. I didn't want to uninstall the sound device, as I feared, what would happen if it doesn't & even my headphones stop functioning nowIn terms of events:
Had winamp running some mp3 files in background - > No probs (have been running these files for more than an year now, never had an issue)
Tried opening skype -> at first no probs
skype upgraded -> again no probs
after its loaded -> my speakers went whoosh with the skype starting up sound & stopped playing any sound suddenly..
I had a doubt whether any virus or anything was wrong, so I ran malware bytes & sfc /scannow .. had no issues popup in either of them.
Rebooted system after these scans & sound is not yet back
Just wanted to double check if at least headphones were working, a big relief ! They do
Just in case if it matters.. when I tried looking in Devices troubleshoot, it had only Base System Device doesn't have an driver!
then tried Microsoft Fix Troubleshooters:
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9740814
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9740816
no prob detected in either of them.
And will there be any probs if I continue using headphones with speaker not functioning ?
