Slippy One Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've got too many sound devices. HDMI audio, 2x USB audio devices (Mackie Onyx, Logitech headset), built in audio on the motherboard, and occasionally my 2nd monitor is 'chosen' as the sound source even though it has no speakers.. Grr Quick fix in this scenario is to press the windows kep, type 'sound' and chose the correct output under 'sound settings' (and input if using as mic), as plugging things in can often override the default. Fresh install of windows is the ultimate way to fix many bugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just a word of warning, my hdd died last year, so i got someone to put in a new ssd, he had to reinstall windows too. Took me a good while to get everything working properly after that. No sound, that was easy, there was a box to tick/untick but all the graphics in my games went to shit. Skyrim was like a cloud had covered everything, Medieval 2 was in a sort of blood red background....new drivers etc i think sorted it. I'm useless with these things. Was trying to resize a photo the other day, had to give up before the Pc went out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @ratdog I bought a logictech sound sytem for mine, it's only one sub and 2 speakers but what a difference. Gaming monitors should have proper speakers surely, they're absolute shiite on mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
