AUDIO SERVICE NOT WORKING.

Hi,

In that case, I suggest you follow below.

Step 1:

In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, then select it from the results.

Step 2:

Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it.

Step 3:

Look for IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. If it's listed, right-click it and select Update Driver, then select Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Step 4:

You’ll see a list of pre-installed drivers. Select High Definition Audio Device, and then select Next.

Step 5:

Restart PC

Let me know the results after performing the above.

No audio in some games in Windows 10

(Issue similar to No audio in newer games on Windows 10)

I'm running Windows 10 64-bit 10.1803.17134.345 on an MSI GV62VR 7RF laptop.
(Intel HD 630, nVidia GTX 1060)

The problem started yesterday after there was a BSOD when bringing the laptop out of hibernation. Since then, there is no audio in many of my games. Audio works fine outside games.

List of games where audio works:

• Warframe
  
• Killing Floor
  
• Kingdom : Classic
  
• Dirty Bomb
  
• Heat Signature
  

List of games where audio doesn't work:

• GTA 4
  
• Borderlands 2
  
• Homefront : The Revolution
  
• Plague Inc : Evolved
  
• Hotline Miami 2
  

What I've tried:

• Checked dxdiag : No errors
  
• Checked Device Manager : No warnings or anything
  
• Reinstalled Realtek HD Audio drivers, both with the MSI OEM ones as well as latest generic ones from the Realtek site
  
• Uninstalled Realtek audio drivers, used the Windows default ones
  
• Uninstalled Nahimic 2.0 audio suite
  
• Installed Nahimic 2.3.0, supposed to support the Windows 10 Anniversary update
  
• Repaired DirectX through the redistributable package
  
• Disabled each and both of the graphics cards from Device Manager
  
• Updated both graphics card drivers
  
• SFC /scannow
  
• DISM, then SFC /scannow
  
• Tried changing audio bitrate in Sound settings
  
• Deselected allowing applications to take exclusive control.
  
• Checked per-app volume settings (all default)
  
• Spatial sound off
  
• Windows Update to latest
  
• No System Restore point available so no can do
  

What I've not tried: reinstalling Windows.

I tried mostly everything mentioned in the other question, however I don't have Sonic Studio on my MSI but I do have Nahimic, which is currently uninstalled.

Any suggestions are welcome.
