    Sound not working after Windows update


    Hello,


    I'm experiencing a very big problem with my computer's audio. After installing the KB4592438 update, I noticed the sound wasn't working. Everything was going smoothly just before the update, so I figured these problems are because of it and tried uninstalling it, but every time I try, either something happens during restarting and it gets installed again, or I get an error saying that not all updates could be uninstalled successfully. However, before actually trying to uninstall the update, I checked sound settings, speakers, driver settings ets., After troubleshooting the speakers I got the message: Audio services not responding. I restarted the audio services, downloaded the latest audio driver from Asus. I'm not sure what to do anymore. A system restore is out of the question: 1. because it'd be very inconvenient and 2. I checked the system restore points and there's a bunch of them, but only from today I assume because of all the restarting?


    I'm really at my wits' end and would appreciate some advice! Thank you!

    :)

    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.

    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 Sound not working after Windows update :p

    windows 10 sound schmes not working

    Since you have already updated the sound drivers on your computer, we suggest that you run the sound troubleshooter. Kindly follow the steps below on how to do it:

    • Right-click on the speaker icon on the bottom right corner of the computer and select
      Troubleshoot sound problems.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    We'll be waiting for your reply.
