I had just made me a brand new i5 based configuration (check my system specs) and i decided to install a licensed os, in the form of Win 8.1 x64 Enterprise.
All worked well at first, but after installing a bunch of updates, my sound started to act out, at random times, it just stops and i have no audio coming out. All the icons and menus are ok, the sound test option works in device manager and the troubleshooter can't find any issues, but i have no sound on my system.
After much searching, i discovered that end task-ing the "Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation" service from Task Manager, brings my audio back, but the issue repeats itself everytime i close a audio source and open another (eg: close media player > open winamp = no sound again).
So right now, i keep the task manager opened and keep force closing that stupid service / background app for like 8-12 times per day
Any logs i can provide? or do you guys have any idea about this strange issue?
