Loss of sound
Last night my computer restarted, something about Mcafee. Now I have no audio devices? But when I click on "test speakers" they play the test. What the hell happened?
|
Gee that is strange! Did you check in Device Manager to see if all devices are there? are there any with exclamation marks, may have to uninstall device then re-install.:hmmm:
I assume you have neither sounds in windows or games? |
No sounds in games and just that annoying windows alert sound.
Realtek HD audio manger still plays that speaker test, but when I play a game or listen to music I get nothing. Device manger seems okay, no "!" Install what though? its the built in sound card |
ITS BACK!
|
I have sound on youtube buts that is it. No ability to listen to music outside the internet, and no sound in games. But Windows has sound.
|
Strange indeed. I remember I had a similar problem - turned out it was a rootkit virus (nasty thing I can tell you). Does your anti virus software still work?
|
Fixed it
|
McAfee still works, but now i get "generic host process Win32 failure"
|
Sounds like McAfee has turned into a virus, better do a complete scan to be on the safe side.:-? If this is an error trying to run McAfee then I would do run chkdsk or NDD, if you have errors fix them then re-install McAfee.:hmmm:
|
Video card now messed up, seeing 'floating' green and blue dots all over. Wiping disk.
|
Aliens (literally - probably from China or Russia) had taken over your computer! :D

Yeh, starting to sound like a dying HDD to me!:hmmm:
If it is a software problem I'd say the register is corrupt. If a hardware problem then could be any of the following: Motherboard Ram Powersupply HDD I'd guess the HDD though!:doh: |
