    Windows notifications won't sound thru optical SPDIF


    Hello everybody

    I am having a weird problem with my PC... I have a pair of studio speakers connected to my motherboard via optical SPDIF, some days ago I noticed that the windows notifications don't sound anymore, but videos, youtubes, spotify... sound normally. It is not the firs time I am having audio issues, some months ago I had a somewhat similar problem, when playing local videos, depending on the format, they made a weird noise instead of the actual audio, but it somehow fixed by itself. I am blaming the last major windows update, but I have tried three different driver versions with no success... I could give up and use the analog output, but it bothers me not being able to use the digital output when my mb and my speakers support it. Any advice?

    Thanks.

    :)

    5.1 channel over SPDIF / optical not working since update(?)

    Hi,

    I understand that 5.1 channel over SPDIF/Optical not working after update.

    I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

    Method 1: Update your audio driver

      1. Select the Start button and type
        device manager in the search box, then select it from the list of results.
      2. Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it.
      3. Right-click (or press and hold) your sound card, then select
        Properties.
      4. Select the Driver
        tab, and then select Update Driver.
      5. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

    Method 2: Fix sound problems.

    Suggest you to refer the article Fix sound problems
    in Windows 10    .

    Thanks,

    Windows notifications won't sound thru optical SPDIF

    (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
