Hi, basically every couple of hours the sound will cut off, basic PC sounds wont work and YouTube videos will not play. Windows Media Player comes up with a error saying that the file is in use or some such and a red X pops up next to the songs. I have tried disabling drivers, updating them, checking the sound options but nothing seems to be wrong, there is no red X next to the speaker icon but it simply wont play any sounds.
The only fix is to restart the computer but I don't know how long that is going to work for, any help is appreciated cheers
