Hi,
mine was like this for a month now and i have found how to fix it.
Go to start, run, type in, %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc, press enter, scroll down until you find Windows Audio, double click it, select automatic, click apply, select start, click OK.
You will have to restart your computer for this to work.
Hope it works
and it all works fine!!!!
thanks anyway people!!!
