    My problem just fixed itself in a couple of weeks after constant clicking of ''scan for hardware change''. However I think that this problem hasn't occured since the last windows update, maybe there's something to it.

    So uh... through playing games, the sound, I managed to get to work.. But my microphone seemed not to work.

    so I went to device manager and then either scanned for hardware changes in microphone (or looked for updates or checked for problems) 

    Then my microphone seemed to work and also my music

    iTunes doesn't freeze, FB videos work and you tube. and games sound clear.

    So... I thought id put this here just to help, if not sorry.

    Yeah, "scan for hardware changes" works 90% of the time

    It's like no sound works for you tube, FB and iTunes seems to lag and dosest even play the song 

    though it says its playing.

    So when I restart (now scan for changes) it seems to work. Also have ASUS F550c with no sound card just High re-talk audio so I cant reinstall the sound card. cause I don't have one

    I performed system restore to a point before I started getting this problem and everything is back to normal.  I then turned off windows automatic update so they cannot cause any more head aches.  I hate auto update.  Actually, this life-long windows user is going to jump ship soon.  Bye Windows, you lost a loyal customer.  Windows 8 is the worst OS!
