Uninstalled Asus Realtek Audio Manager and now can't get sound to work
Hi Folks,
Over the last day I bought my first pair of USB headphones with a mic for youtube video creation. I have never had a USB headset before and installed the specific software to drive the headset audio. Did that, the headset didn't work, no audio at all, now here is the bit where so many of us do something stupid.....I uninstalled my current Azus Realtek audio manager, thinking that it might be conflicting with the headset software I just installed. So after doing that all sound whatsoever disappeared from my PC.
I have tried many things, installing the Azus Realtek Audio Manager again, (I currently have it back now) but that does nothing, i have tried installing the realtek specific updated drivers from the realtek website, I have tried enabling/disabling in system tray, I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling from the device manager.
Currently my sound icon in the system tray has a red x on it and when I click on it, it runs through a little troubleshooter which helpfully tells me that 'Audio services are not responding'. When I go to my services app and restart Windows Audio and the Windows Audio End Point Builder that does nothing to change the situation either. I can see my speakers and headphones in the playback devices section but they have no audio levels bar on the right hand side of them to show that they are emitting sound, also, hitting 'configure speakers' 'test' and 'disable' does nothing.
For the record, I don't have a sound card on this machine, I just have 'Onboard High Definition Audio' as stated in my component list when I ordered this custom build.
Any help anyone can throw me is greatly appreciated, Like I say, I have reinstalled all conceivable drivers known to man, I think it might be something more specific, something deeper in the systems that my futile attempts do not access.
