Windows 10: windows stopped recognizing audio inputs after forced restart.

for some reason my computer bugged and got 90% of my screen in a solid color, without being able to do anything I needed to restart the computer using the power button, when I turned on again, the front audio input had stopped working, only the headphone input, but the microphone input still works, I started using the back input, after a while the computer bugged again, I had to restart again and when I turn on again, the back input also didn't work anymore, now I'm using the audio input from the monitor, but unfortunately this monitor is not the main one, so when I have it turned off I have no sound, does anyone know how I can solve this?

btw: i just formatted the computer trying to solve this problem and didn't worked. I also tried to use all possible driver options available in the device manager, still not working.

Windows Audio Crashes

My audio stops working when ever a mic is turned on.

On login, audio output works normally, however, when ever any mic is used, both audio input and output crash and a red x shows up on the taskbar audio icon.

It seems the Windows Audio service is what crashes.

After the first crash, the audio does not come back no matter what I do until I restart my pc.

I can replicate this with the following steps:

1. Login to pc
   • audio output working fine
2. Open sound settings, opens to playback tab
   • audio still fine and also able to play test sounds
3. Click on Recording Tab
   • The sound feedback indicator on the right side is missing
   • The window freezes, error window appears about DLL crash
   • If there is no connected or enabled recording device, nothing happens everything else seem to run normally
4. Proceed to follow various trouble shooting steps
   • Some troubleshooting steps seems to get rid of the red x on the taskbar volume icon
   • The recording tab in the sound settings is also now accessible
   • However things may seem fine at first, audio input/output is still not working and playing a test sound fails.

Solutions I've Tried:

• DISM (ended with no errors)
• sfc /scannow (found corrupted files, required restart)
• Restarting Windows Audio Service (results in err 1061, service then gets stuck on stopping)
• Disabling and re-enabling audio drivers
• Reinstalling audio drivers from manufacturers site
• Using windows generic audio drivers
• Restarting my PC

As you can see, I've spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue and it is starting to get really frustrating.

 

Windows 10 and USB Audio codec input

Just purchased a USB turntable to record some old albums. Windows 10 recognizes the input, but only one app even recognizes there is any input at all. Audacity doesn't get any input at all. When I open Control Panel / Sound / Record Tab, the meter to
the right of Audio Codec shows activity.

Any suggestions?
