Hey guys!
Yesterday I came back from collage, and I had a huge win 10 update (it took more then 1 hour). Since then my woofer and the rear speakers are silent (5.1). Well, technically they are working, but only when I test it with Realtek HD audio thing or connect my phone (2.1 plug). Chrome, Opera, vlc player, BSplayer doesen't work. I have already tried to reinstall the drivers in device manager but no step forward 🙁 Thank you for your replies!

I can see that you have tried to reinstall your drivers, but have you checked to see if there are any updated versions of those very drivers? Another possibility is that the update caused an error within your sound drivers because of an unforeseen incompatibility between the new operating system version and your drivers. You should check to see if there is any driver update for your motherboard also as this could be the result of your issues.
A bit more information would help: what model of PC (or motherboard), and what kind of media are you trying to play?

The update was probably the latest feature build to Windows 10 (version 1703, or March 2017 to version 1709, Sept 2017). Those build upgrades are bigger than typical monthly patches. It could also offer a clue as to what changed the sound function.
