Windows 10: Some sound-effects are off after message in windows

already tried that but it doesnt help either.
how old is what?

 

The VIA Sound.

Is it integrated sound chip?

 

yes i think so

 

So it is likely older. I went to VIA site and did not see.

You could continue to look for solution, maybe an in place repair / upgrade would solve. Back up data.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

The other alternative and maybe the best option, disable it in BIOS and buy a modern sound card. I think you find them at a reasonable price and with Black Friday around the corner the sales might be good.

On another thread I was involved with the sound issue was resolved with a clean install. Starting from scratch was not a desired position but it worked.

yeah..im not gonna make a clean install again, i just did that. its not worth it just because i got this audio-problem.
and no new sound card, win10 has worked without problems before with my currect hardware so im not gonna change that.

maybe a windows repair with my win10 usb installation..maybe..but i dont think windows will detect and do anything about it because when i troubleshoot this it finds nothing.

i checked through the: playback devices-sounds-sound scheme and the "windows default"had a lot of "none" in there. i tried to google for a list so that i could just change it after that list
but i havent found any. but i picked the sound for emptying the recycle bin at least *Wink

edit: look at this,


it seems that for some reason i have 2 via hd audios installed *Eek they are probably in conflict with each other

 

Does your VIA Audio have software and if so do you have a separate sound manager in the systray. Realtek installs this way. If so you would have two speaker like icons in the systray.

I don't see two. I see the controller and the in/outs.

Ken

 

no i dont have a software for the audio.
ok..to me it looks like 2 via audios.

here is my systray

 

Not sure where to go from here.

MS is doing an excellent job with drivers when you consider the huge amount of gear out there. I think you are left with clean install, I read your comment, or a new expansion card.

Should you do a clean install, and I'm not pushing, once you get Windows in, the updates on and your programs in you should take an Image with a tool like Macrium Reflect. Free, reliable and member recommended.

Then when you want to start over you restore from the "Gold" image. Makes clean installing a breeze.

Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect

im using the "backup and restore(windows 7)" for that. i have also used aomei backupper. it used to work rellay good but since i changed my system from mbr to gpt it doesnt work anymore.

i just did a clean install and it takes so much time and effort to do that.
so you dont think a "repair" with the windows installing-media will fix this?

 

It very well could fix it and it does work for a whole slew of things.

Check out Macrium Reflect when you get a moment. Amazing tool for the price.

 

i have used it before to cloned my os but i dont really trust those 3-part progs now, you know after i had the problem with aomei backupper.
windows own program i know works, even if your windows cant start you can use your image from the installation media and i dont think progs like macrium can do that

Macrium has a boot disk so no issue there.

 

so does aomei but it didnt work anyway..
