What is using my sound card?
I found that after I updated iTunes to the newest version, I was having the same issue. They installed some push application that was interfering with my sound card. Here is what I did:
Windows key + r Search msconfig Then under services I unchecked all of the Apple manufacturer services Under the startup tab I disabled any Apple products Restarted
My sound has been back up and running since then.
Found a solution:
- Search the start menu for "Device Manager" and open it
- Expand the "Sound, video and game controllers"
- Right-click the Audio device and disable it
- Right-click and then Enable the Audio device again
Should be working now.
