I had my headphones in, watching a video without audio but suddenly no audio was coming through after I shut my pc to sleep mode with headphones in. I've done this before and nothing has happened like this. I panicked and restarted my pc, to fix the problem. It did not work. I tried troubleshooting when clicking on the audio button on the tab but it says nothing is wrong.
On Control Panel, against "Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) Audio Controller" is a yellow triangle and message when I click on it saying "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". I tried to update but it says the best driver already installed.
How can I fix this please? I don't want to risk uninstalling this driver and would need some assistance. I'm worried i've broken it forever.
Edit: Accidentally hit restart again instead of shut down in panic and it fixed my problem! I don’t know how but i’m very thankful! Gonna throw out my old headphones though, don’t want this happening again lol!
