Was not sure where to post this one. Dons feel free to move if needed.
So while its fresh in my brain. Was streaming channel 4 through a laptop connected to a very old panasonic TV when the screen blinked and the sound stopped working.
(Normally use an nvidia shield but no channel 4 app)
This was about 10.30pm today. Scratches head checked control panel sound no panasonic TV only the realtek device which I disable. hmmm. rebooted still the same problem.
I know I'll check windows update. That normally bricks things like graphics drivers and O yes windows update has updated some intel graphics drivers lovely.
Now the display is fine its just I get no sound. Its a dell laptop also old, about 7 years and when I loaded the Dell update app it installed a load of drivers including intel graphics drivers.
Same problem. Device manager was not showing any problems either. I did notice in device manager/sound Intel Display audio. I rolled it back no joy.
In the end I uninstalled Intel Display Audio from device manager/sound and rebooted. It re-apperaed but was on a 2024 version and this worked.
Hopefully this painfull troubleshoot will help somebody get their sound back.
