canprince Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Earlier builds had issues with Via Audio drivers which were resolved in the previous couple of updates. I have lost audio again in build 10130. It appears that the driver is installed in Device Manager but when I test it in the configuration menu, I get an error message: "Failed to play test tone". I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted June 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2015 I had the same thing with NVidia GPU drivers, the way I fixed it was to uninstall the default driver and reboot.. had to do this a couple of times and the correct / working driver got installed. You should try that.. Simply uninstall it and reboot. In my tests uninstalling and reinstalling immediately never worked (although this was with 10074, haven't had it since).

canprince Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thank you, I will certainly try that. I did the same thing with the earlier builds and rolled back the drivers. But when I did a clean install of the previous to last build, it worked out of the box and had no issue until I updated to 10130. I hope they do fix this before RTM cause it is annoying. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryokurin Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Go into sound, right click on the speakers you want and go into properties. Click on the advanced tab and change the default format to 16bit, 96000 Hz (studio Quality) or something else that you know it can play. Then apply and test. It will probably complain that the soundcard is in use, just hit ok. That should fix it. Ironman273 and xankazo 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
