My sound suddenly stopped working. It was working fine before. Now I have no sound except for the low battery beep.
Not only that, programs that require sound will not function: e.g., iTunes will launch but will not play songs. Windows Media Player will not function and gives the following error code:
You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.
Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
Your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller, requires an updated driver. To determine if an updated driver is available, see Windows Update at the Microsoft Web site, or see the sound device manufacturer's Web site.
Your sound device is not functioning properly. Try using Device Manager to check the status of your sound device.
-------------------------------------------------------
When I go to device manager, I find sound, it says "Realtek High Definition Audio"
under Properties, it says "This device is working properly."
I tried updating the driver, but it says that it's already updated.
