Many thanks Scylla.

As a complete non tekkie, this could be my first and last post on this thread! Yesterday my laptop installed windows 10 version 2004. Whilst it was doing so I read up on this feature update and it comes with approx. 12 known issues. I suffered one of the issues which fortunately I was able to find a workaround for. Microsoft are apparently only "offering" this update to devices it considers it to be appropriate for. The fact that I suffered one of the known issues suggests Microsoft have got that wrong. It would seem that the best course of acton at the moment is certainly not to go looking for version 2004 and if offered it by Microsoft through Windows Update try to avoid it. Ian

Any knowledgeable person please; what is this bird ?

Not really appropriate, but, I have suddenly lost audio, troubleshooter, says 'not fixed', but fails to offer any solution, can anyone offer any advice? thank you.

Cathy, assuming you have a Windows device try uninstalling your audio driver. When you restart your machine Windows should automatically re-install the driver. Ian

Thanks Ian, I have done what you suggested, & it did re-install, but still no sound. I'm totally lost, but thanks for your help.

There is a known problem with Windows 10 version 2004 that seems to apply only to some Conexant audio drivers. If you have recently installed version 2004 and have Conexant audio that may be the cause. I am not aware of a current fix for this. Ian

Thanks Ian, sorry, but I haven't got a clue what you are talking about. I'll probably end up get someone, to take a look at it, its just so useful when watching are feathered friends, and doing other jobs at the same time.
