I swapped my computer over to a larger case today. Main reason was that I was running out of space and running a little too hot after a few upgrades. I had a full sized case so I swapped it over. Everything went fine, then I went to watch a video and the audio wasnt working. At first it was just cutting in and out. And when I saw cutting in and out, you could hear maybe a sylable out of an entire scentance. I tried swapping the audio device to where audio came from my TV, and that doesnt work either, and I know it should becasue I did that a few days ago. The front audio plug also does not work.
So I cant get audio through the rear audio plug, the front audio plug, or through the HDMI that goes to my TV. All of which were working before the case swap. I can see the regular audio plugs maybe not working due to a loose connection, but the fact that the HDMI audio on my new GPU also isnt working tells me it might be a software issue.
Also, when I go to Manage Audio Devices in the control panel, I can go to the speakers and run a test. It shows the animation to the side like audio ir playing, but I still hear nothing. Earlier when I said it was cutting out, I could test the speakers and hear a part of the tone it puts out for the test. Im not getting any sound at all now though.
UPDATE: Sound works sometimes, then will not work. The main things I use are Netflix or Hulu, Spotify, and GTA V. It will work on Netflix, then if I start spotify, Ill get no sound at all. Then it will start working for some reason. I was playing GTA V earlier. Sound was working fine before I started the game. Once I got in game, no sound. I checked all the settings, and everything was fine. It just randomly started working after a few minutes. This is all going through the front audio plug.
