avast premier kills sounds on my thinkpad X230
« on: April 22, 2019, 12:10:54 PM »
hello
i installed avast premier on my X230, before installing sound was ok,
after I install avast premier the sound is gone, I mean from any source, youtube, and from files on my laptop.
if I de-install, sound comes back, after I re-install it goes off again.
Note: when windows starts the windows start sounds are ok, after it gets to the desktop and avast starts every sound is gone.
all drivers are the latest,  on a fresh win 7 pro sp1 install with all updates done

this is quite frustrating , please help

The same thing happened to me on my windows 10 PC.  No one would believe that Avast could mess up the sound but it did.  One of my neighbors works on computers and he fixed my PC so now the sound works.

@TinkerMan

I was wrong about how I got my sound back.  He used the Configurartion Editor  Now my sound was too loud so I had to turn it down.

I tried doing it that way several times but it didn't change the sound.  My sound is in my monitor.

Hopefully that will work for him.

Where the sound comes from doesn't matter as long as it's properly selected in the settings.

Here's what you suggested:

Now all you need to do is give specific instructions as to what was changed to give you back your sound.

If, your Windows Audio under Services was unchecked, that could be the
reason why you had no sound. If your problem was no sound.
It would however, not make the sound lower.
