Sometimes a simple reboot fixes things. My speakers went out, although the icon on the tool bar said they were full volume. So I rebooted, didn't fix it. Then I went to settings, audio and "troubleshoot", checked the system, tried again, still nothing.
So then I went and cleared all my cookies, cache, still nothing. But at the same time forgot, that by clearing all that, it logs you out of the websites you are on. I have several passwords on different sites of course, and cant always remember them exactly.
Anywho, I finally did an update on Windows/DELL, rebooted, and my speakers finally started working again. But then it took me another half hour to log back into everything trying to remember my passwords.
The entire ordeal started when my friend on FB called me on a voice chat, but I could not hear him. From that moment to the time I finally fixed everything, it took me an hour and a half.
I feel lucky though. Many people are not techies, and would take it to a repair shop, or even toss it and buy a new computer.
