Windows 10: Speaker and Microphone frozen

I don't know what's going on there because when I'm leaving away my computer especially when going at the grocery store and once coming back, suddenly my stereo and microphone stopped working. Usually when restarting does fix the problem but only temporarily. But when taking a look inside the volume mixer, if adjusting the volume, that one freezes for a few seconds. I have absolutely no idea if it's either a memory leak or something. This happens randomly especially when I have opened my computer for a long period of time while having everything updated on Windows 10.

Lumia 930 microphone doesn't work on speaker

Hi, I have same issue on Lumia 930, have tried the various steps proposed by Microsoft, have also tried updating software to Windows 10 but to no avail. While a number of posts on this topic suggest it is likely to be a hardware bug, my symptoms seem to
indicate software:

• while using the phone normally (not on speaker) the microphones work perfectly. IE microphones 1 and 2 at the bottom of the phone appear to be working 100%
• while using the phone on speaker, microphones 1 and 2 (see Windows Phones for good photos of microphone locations) seem to be completely off
• while using phone on speaker, microphones 3 and 4 at the top of the phone seem to work reasonably as long as I'm close to the phone. Not as well as they should on a speakerphone though.
• microphone on headset works fine

This does look to be a very widespread issue ... any updates from Microsoft?

thanks
