so, I just installed 16299.15 and now I have no audio just a red cross on the speaker icon.
Im connected with hdmi to receiver and it does not look like a handshake issue.
Also no sound from audio jack, any advice?
"Refresh" the sound drivers. Go to the Device Manager, Sounds section. Right click on the PC audio device driver to highlight it and then LEFT click "Uninstall". Do the same thing for the HDMI device driver. DO NOT uninstall the drivers. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it will detect and reinstall the two sound devices. This fixes a lot of different device issues and hopefully will take care of yours.
