Well last night my audio stopped working. I'm not to sure why. Then this morning I found out that there is No Playback Devices, No Recording Devices, and No MIDI Playback Devices(it is all greyed out). I don't really know what to do... I've tried going to my sound device and it is enabled. I also went to the properties tab and checked all of those, same thing. I am really stumped at what to do next and how to fix it. Hopefully somebody on here can help. How do I go about changing the default audio devices?? When I try to open the volume control it says there is no active mixer device available.

I also just found this. In the Device Manager under Sound, video, and game controllers there is an exlimation mark in a yello circle next to Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver. When I check te properties on it says "A driver [service] for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)" Any ideas what that means??

Thanks for reading.

Hi. Go to the audio device (the one with the yellow !) and right click on it, look for the option to roll back to the previous driver.
