Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1
Ren'Py 7.3.5.606

This is with a clean new project or even with teh demo project

Even when i use my old Ren'Py version i get this error.

My soundcard (which i have for over 10 years now i think) only has 1 driver and that is the one that is installed.


These 2 monitors are more recent. Could they be the cause of this error?
And how would i go about fixing them. (Will simply disabling them be enough?)

Ok case can be closed

Check if "Windows Audio Service" is enable...

Click on windows menú button, and type/run "services.msc", then search "Windows Audio Service" and check if it's enabled, if not right click on it and select "Start".


NOTE: Some of the names may not be accurate, the equipment I work on isn't in English

A reboot of my pc was the solution.
Most likely a service was restarted because of this. I got triggered restarting teh pc since youtube didnt give me any sound anymore.

The sound driver i use is a beta version and they will not make a final release as its a rather old soundcard. But its a really good one so im not replacing him.

Well in all fairness, when I posted the meme I didn't see it said United states in it. So I guess your not the only one affected by Christmas.
