I updated my laptop ( a HP Pavilion 14-f027cl ) to Windows 8.1 a month and a half ago. I noticed that following immediately after the update I was having trouble with sound.
First, it was Google Chrome that would mute itself. I would have to go to the sound mixer and manually unmute Chrome. (Chrome would mute itself on its own).
And Today (December 22nd) My whole laptop just went mute. I can hear nothing. Nothing from Chrome, IE, iTunes, no apps, nothing! I went through every possible troubleshooting tutorial and nothing helped.
PLEASE HELP ME!
