so today for some weird reason that god knows what reason is, my laptop speaker decided to not have sounds when i use the Asio4all driver whether i use it on my DAW, or i just load up a standalone kontakt 6 without a DAW. There will be no sounds from my laptop speakers, but last few days, my laptop speakers still have sound.
I tried:
1. Windows GS wavetable synth active because of exclusive mode checked in playback device
FIX: Open the Control panel->Hardware and Sound->Sound->doubleclick on Speakers->Advanced->uncheck exclusive mode. If you have several playback devices do this for each of them. Now reboot your system.
2. Another audio app is still running in the backround (including Windows 8 metro apps)
FIX. Launch the windows task manager (ctrl + alt + delete), switch to advanced mode and look for apps that use audio or video which still are running in the background, including metro apps like for example 'Video' or 'Music'. Select and terminate them.
3. Flash still is running in the background
FIX: Launch the windows task manager (ctrl + alt + delete), switch to advanced mode and look for instances of flash still running in the 'Background processes' list. Select and terminate them.
4. A sample rate incompatibility (but this is very rare)
FIX: Open the advanced settings of the asio4all control panel and here check 'always resample 44.1kHz <-> 48 KHz'.
Miraculously, When i plugged in headphones, Asio4all will work normally.
And the only way to get sounds out of my laptop speakers(and headphones if i plugged them in) is to change to Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver.
I know...i know...you guys would probably say that laptop speakers are sh1t or what, but sometimes i find that i needed them just to test out sounds real quickly without having going thru the hastle of uncoiling my stupidly cheap headphones.
OH and in Asio4all config, mine shows 'Realtek (R) Audio' is active.
I did a BIOS update the day before. is it because of that?
Pls if anyone knows what is the issue, it would be really really great!
Life sxxks :(
