Reinstall your sound card drivers. Get them from:

1. The sound card mftr.'s website; or
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if onboard; or
3. The OEM's website for your specific model machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Follow the installation instructions on the website from where you get
the drivers. You may need to uninstall the old drivers first.

Never install driver updates from Windows Update.
