Hi all,
I'm experiencing a particularly frustrating issue at present.
I recently upgraded my main PC, which i use primarily for a mixture of music production and gaming, thanks to easily swappable hard drives depending on what i'm using it for that day.
While using it for music production one night, i turned it off, went to sleep, woke up, went to work, and came back home only to find that upon booting to windows, there was no sound. I checked all drivers, i rebooted, i checked if my interface was plugged in correctly, nothing had changed. No windows or 3rd party updates had been scheduled or automatically installed, and the PC was completely powered down anyway, preventing that from being possible regardless.
I always make sure i have to manually connect to the WiFi so as to prevent any updates from suddenly happening upon booting, and i hadn't done that by this point either.
I've subsequently checked, re-checked, and triple checked all drivers which are there, or should be there, and nothing seems askew. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, updated, removed, checked the bios settings, attempted to bypass via the interface's independent ASIO drivers, all to no avail. No sound functionality is present, whether it's windows default, interface, or anything in between. Bluetooth also doesn't bypass this issue.
I tried reinstalling and updating mobo drivers too, again to no avail.
I may have missed some things, as I'm extremely tired and frustrated right now, so you'll have to excuse me.
My setup is on my profile, only difference being when i swap hard drives i go between windows 10 home, and windows 10 pro.
Given that making music is the majority of what i use to retain my sanity, any help or ideas are appreciated!
