The sound and audio for both my headphones and speakers have stopped working and I'm not sure why.
It first started with a YouTube video that was only playing the video and not the audio (Note: first tried to play music with speakers, plugged in headphones (Nothing), closed Firefox, reopened, repeated. Nothing).
I thought it was just another issue with Firefox (since I've had this issue before, but the headphones worked and not the speakers) so I went onto Internet Explorer to see if it would work. Unfortunately, I tried to load a YouTube video but I had errors come up saying that the video would not load.
I then tried Audacity and loaded a file. When I tried to play it, this is what appeared:
Error while opening sound device. Please check the playback device settings and the project sample rate.
Confused, I went to see if anyone else had this same issue. Nothing has worked though. I haven't messed with my sound devices because I don't want to screw anything up, but here's what I've done so far:
Checked to see if Speakers were enables (Which they were.)
Checked for disconnected and inactive devices (None)
Checked to see if Sound Card was enabled and what it's status was (Status: Device working properly)
I'm not sure what exactly to do right now, so if anyone could help I would appreciate it a ton!
