It often happens that my volume gets stuck at mute with a red X on it. Clicking on it runs the troubleshooter which offers to restart the audio service whereupon the problem gets fixed until the next time it happens again.
How do I stop this from happening anymore?
(The answer isn't to select "Update driver" in "Device Manager", as that always gives you the message that you have the latest driver installed. In fact, never in my life has "Device Manager" ever actually updated a driver.)
Thank you.
As I like to learn (in addition to fixing problems) can you explain how that will stop the volume from randomly becoming mute in middle of using the computer? Thank you.
