    No audio after a 1 second power outage


    From Googling, it seems quite a few people have had this problem specifically that audio stops playing after an abrupt power outage. I don't see any agreed upon solution yet.


    Yes, I ran the troubleshooter a million times. It kept saying it fixed my issues and that I needed to restart, but when the PC would boot back up, audio still wasn't playing.


    I tried changing devices, I tried disabling/re-enabling speakers.


    Nothing is muted.


    In the Sound settings window, the option Realtek Digital Output seems to be the input device? There is a bar jumping like that on a mixer I have audio playing on iTunes even though I can't hear it, but then the entry goes blank in the dropdown under "Choose your output device."

    :)

  2. No Audio After Power Outage

    Yeah that is odd after the power outage. I'm looking for other solutions to fix audio issues on laptop, and did find this article which seemed to help people tremendously -

    That being said, it's weird this started happening right after the outage...

  3. Power outage caused programs to disappear and/or become disfunctional

    Hello,

    There are few factors that can contribute to the issue you are encountering. Power outages can result in data loss, corruption of folders/files, and programs not functioning.

    To assist you further, kindly provide more details by answering the following questions:

    • Which browser are you using to check the passwords and favorites section? Provide the list of browsers where you encountered the concern.
    • Have you tried using another account to verify if the programs are still missing on your program list?

    There is a possibility that the drive index has been corrupted. We highly suggest that you check your hard drive and scan for errors by following these steps:

    • Open This PC on File Explorer and locate your hard drive.
    • Right-click and choose Properties.
    • Under Tools tab, click on Check Now button.

    After scanning the hard drive, hidden files and folders, as well as lost data can be restored.

    Additionally, we advise running the System File Checker as another way for us to check or scan for data corruptions in Windows system files that can be affected by the power outage. To do so, follow the steps on this article:

    Using System File Checker in Windows 10.


    Let us know of any details pertaining to your concern.

    No Audio After Power Outage

    After a power outage about a week ago, my friends audio is not working. Her headphones and speakers are perfectly fine, and she thinks it's something with the computer itself rather then the devices. She's uninstalled and reinstalled practically everything
    and is almost out of hope.

    I personally think something happened when the power came back, and destroyed some audio ware in the computer. The only problem is I'm no expert which is why I'm here.

    Are there any other solutions for getting her audio to work?

    Here are her computer settings:
