Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager.‌ If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

 

Look in there, see if your device is disabled or hidden, if it is, re-enable it and it should show in the sounds menu

Have you deleted all traces of sound drivers, headphones software and then just plugged the headset in to see if it find a driver on its own?

If you did that, then there are no drivers after the restart. Do you have the windows disc or a utilities disc?

 

no when you do that, it auto finds them in the system and rinstalls,,, well i think thats what happens. I definitly have drivers

I'm running out of ideas I'm afraid. I didn't put bluetooth on my PC so cant look into it here, If the bluetooth manager is running, the headset should easily pair and show up in devices to be selected as default.

No worries, thanks for your time thinking about it.

 

Its really weird as they were working fine... then stopped....plus the fact that, it pairs them, says its connected but doesnt work is just odd

when i hovver over the speaker icon in the task bar a window pops up:   NO AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE IS INSTALLED

 

its an old machine so has the internal speaker just died?

click on "uninstall a program"

 

Scroll down to the maxthon program, and remove it by right clicking it and selecting uninstall

Does anyone know what maxthon actually does?. I don't want to delete if it's going to knacker the system.

It's an internet browser. Is your computer Lenovo or some other Chinese brand by any chance?

Shouldn't be an issue, it's just a Chinese equivalent of Chrome, Firefox etc

Yeah just get rid and use Opera or something. laptops come with a ton of bloat ware that you don't need, and it just slows the system.

For some reason I'm unable to access Freeview (no channels) via BT Youview hub, when I have done all the time until now.

The ariel and cables are working and also re-tuned but no luck.

Any other suggestions for this please? Thanks.

 

Edit: There's no tv support thread so thought best to put in here.
