Dummy here.
My system is suddenly muting most but not all audio output. Ads & peripheral stuff will play fine but main content goes almost silent (its there but very faint with the speaker volume dial at max).
I've checked every obvious control & tried turning off & restarting, to no avail.
Any suggestions mucho appreciated. |

| check your playback devices and make sure that it is set to the peripheral. Sometimes the settings get reset back to internal speaker when you update, especially if you are using a laptop connected to an external monitor. |

Thanks Nate, but not clear what your first sentence means in terms of real doing. The problem persists. Its a desktop. |

Still scratching my head over this. As streaming audio downloads, music or sound effects play normally, but then the broadcast itself goes unlistenably faint. I did a random survey of youtube clips & about one in ten plays fine but the rest are muted.
Any ideas? Thx. |

Your audio settings seem to have got messed up.
The best and most complete way to fix any audio problems (which aren't caused by hardware) is to find out the make and model of your motherboard, then go to that manufacturers website and download the latest audio drivers for your model. Install. That should fix all problems.........if it doesn't then you have a hardware problem.
Also be wary of installing many different audio and video players. Especially if you start messing with their settings.
Stick to tried and tested players like VLC, GOM player, Media Player Classic....
I would avoid installing more than 3 music/video players at any one time. They could conflict. |
