My sound on my computer just randomly stopped working today. It was working fine yesterday, and today I turned it on and it wasn't working.

I have tried every solution I can think of (Windows Troubleshooter, about 3 restarts, playing around with all the settings, etc) but none of them worked.

My sound card is a "Creative Labs Sound Blaster Z" if that helps at all.

Thanks

Try updating your drivers.
iobit driver booster is a decent piece of software for updating all system drivers.
not just drivers related to your operating system.
and it is also free from iobit.
