Question Random Audio Loss

[DylBKR]

Went to bed last night audio all fine on my PC woke up today none at all. I use a TV (plugged into my GPU via HDMI) as a monitor and the device is recognised and is said to be using sound but none is produced. Also it produces sound if I use the SMART Tv features.

I so far have swapped ports, uninstalled the AMD High Def Audio Devices, Checked for drivers using windows, Updated drivers using AMD and also ran SFC and DISM to no avail any help would me massively appreciated because it’s just super weird.

Also probably worth noting I have a set of external speakers next to my 2nd monitor that are plugged into the front audio jack on the PC that work perfectly fine.

To add to this, went into device manager and changed the drivers of the device I was having issues with to the default this in turn made it appear as hidden in device manager. Decided I should probably uninstall the driver for this and the two AMD HDMI devices that were also hidden, this has resulted in them not reinstalling themselves and instead completely disappearing FML.
