I have a 5.1 system, using amd motherboard outputs, and in the last couple of days my L and R speakers have randomly stopped working where the others still work fine. nothing is plugged in wrong as unplugging and replugging does not fix the issue, however a full system reboot DOES fix it.Partial restarts, such as disabling and enabling the device in device manager do NOT fox th

Sound cuts out on Right speaker


Relevant info first:
Windows 10 Home Anniversary Edition 1607
Realtek High Definition Audio Driver 6.0.1.7541.
Logitech LS21 active speakers

For whatever reason, even during playback, the sound will cut out in the right speaker. Unplugging and plugging it back in solves the problem for a little while (1hr/2hr?).
What I've tried so far.

1. Chose a different output port. Problem continues
2. Used Bluetooth headset. Problem not present.
3. Used USB Playstation 2 sound adapter. Problem partially continues. The sound in the Right speaker is very low, but not mute as in the usual case.
4. Reinstalled Realtek driver. No change. Installed x64 driver. No change
5. Tried to find different USB sound driver. Logitech did not have one for the 97078
6. Sound is consistent and fine on HDMI TV. The sound connection is going through the HDMI port on the Geforce GTX 660

So I don't know what the deal is. I'm thinking it might be the Gigabyte motherboard (GIGABYTE H81M-D2V) but it could be system as well. I'm also tempted to hook up a radio or phone to the speakers to see if the Right speaker cuts out there as well.

 

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
