  1. My sound is no longer working after I messed with something


    I was trying to stop my active hard disk from always showing 100%. I tried using command prompt to stop "sysmain" and that didn't work, then I used regedit to make an adjustment to "StorAHCI.sys" driver and it fixed the issue. Problem is, after restarting, in noticed my sound is gone. I checked the device manger and I noticed there's an issue with "Intel smart sound technology OED" driver as well as the " Intel Dynamic tuning Processor Participant" driver. I've tried updating them but it isn't updating. What should I do to solve these issues?

    :)

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue My sound is no longer working after I messed with something :p

    Hdmi sound not working

    Hi Peter,

    One possible reason why the HDMI sound does not work is due to the conflicts with the playback settings. For us to help you make the HDMI sound to work, we suggest that you answer the following questions for further research:

    • Have you made any recent changes to your computer?
    • What is the current build and version of your Windows 10?
    • Have you tried to download and install the most updated sound and display driver of your computer?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform the steps on this
    article
    as our initial troubleshooting and see if there will be any changes on the HDMI sound.

    We'll be waiting for your response.
