I tried downloading and reinstalling drivers but the real problem seems to be that question mark on the device manager that says 'Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device,Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)'.
Is there a simple way to fix this?
Thank you for any help.
