Sound being annoying...

Post by Pringle »

Each time i start up my laptop it has become a complete lottery whether my sound will be working. Now, the windows startup sound works and so do all the others, but if i play a video/game/music the sound doesn't come on.

A restart clears it, but its a bit annoying if you're working away for a while and then decide to listen to some music and have to restart.

Any ideas?
