Hi guys, I'm having an (what appears to be quite a common) issue with my sound since installing to Windows 8.1
I have an Acer Aspire V3-571G laptop, and was recently asked to upgrade to Windows 8.1.
Once I did that, a pop-up has come up saying:
---------------------------------------------------------
Dolby Home Theater
Unable to start the Dolby audio driver. Please restart the computer or
reinstall the driver if the problem persists.
---------------------------------------------------------
The audio for all my media players now refuse to work, while, say, Youtube appears to work fine.
I've seen a few proposed solutions for this issue (including deleting, uninstalling and reinstalling of certain things), but most appear to be 'Lenovo' laptops. So basically I have a fear of deleting something wrong or doing some irreversible damage to my sound, since it may not be specific to my Acer Aspire.
If anyone could give me a hand with how to solve this, that would be VERY much appreciated, as I am clearly not very tech savvy.
Thanks guys and girls!
