not gonna lie this is driving me nuts i sat down to join a call this morning and my home-built tower was completely silent. no sound from teh a soundbar, no startup chime, nothing. the speaker icon has a red X and Sound settings says there are no output devices. last night Windows installed teh Creative MediaSource 3 web update 3.30.21 for PCMCIA Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook & Audigy 4 update, and Im pretty sure thats teh culprit. when I open Device Manager I see this:
USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
i've rebooted twice and run the audio troubleshooter, which claims it fixed smth... it didn't... i don't know whether i should reinstall the driver, roll it back, or something else entirely.. :) where should i start so i don't make it worse? pls help 🙏
