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
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.
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.
i too have the same problem but set default button is not working for me
Best advice. Save up and get a Mac. If you use sh***y Microsoft to watch tv with a hdmi. You're gonna have to restart your computer a couple f**king times a day.
