I can't even wind the damn thing back.
Have uninstalled two updates downloaded today. But nothing helped.
Still does not recognise either speakers or enable resizing of the toolbar to get all icons in.

Raymond can`t you make the icons smaller by holding down Command and tapping the minus ? Thats all I have to do or to make them bigger command and plus, easy peasy
All this sound complicated to me

 

[barryd]

Hasn't this audio problem happened to you several times Ray? Is it the same PC? Did you start a thread about it? If so maybe the resolution is there. I would try removing the audio drivers in device manager but I am sure we resolved it before.

 

[raynipper]

Yes Baz, it's happened several times before on two different PCs. But each time before the update decided to ignore the Samsung monitor speakers and try to connect to a pair of external ones that were not switched on.
This time I just get no audio devices found. Turning either set on does not show them at all. Even in Device Manager.!
Going into the audio settings says no devices there. Running the troubleshooter same. Even in SKYPE no speakers are listed.

Yes Jan I have returned the screen icons and fonts back to 'normal by ctrl and - but previously the Toolbar settings had an option to have larger or smaller toolbar but that's no longer present.

Seems one of the updates foisted onto me was '22H2' or Windows 11.!! Bastards.
Still no audio. In fact the speaker symbol on the taskbar has an 'X' across it saying "No Audio Device is Installed"...??
Now I guess I'm stuck with Win 11 which so far is a right pain.

And yes Jan Ctrl plus - is OK for the screen icons but not the taskbar.
It now given me TEAMS which I really don't want.

You can roll back Windows 11 Ray. The common denominator here seems to be your Samsung Speakers.

 

[raynipper]

I tried rolling back the updates but that made no difference Baz. Yes the Samsung speakers were deselected last time and external speakers were shown and connected.
But this time there are just NO speakers showing anywhere. Not in Device Manager or Sound Settings.
The troubleshoot reinstalled the audio Drivers and still no change. No speakers detected?

You should be able to roll back the entire windows 11 to 10 though Ray not just the latest update if its only recently converted to 11. How to get Windows 10 back after installing Windows 11

 

[barryd]

According to your own thread on P1 Ray this is how you resolved it last time.

"
Found it.!!!!
Seems it updated the "Sound Video Game Controllers" which eliminated the Samsung monitor speakers. Rolled it back to 2019 and all working again.
Only took a month.

Ray. "

Are you sure I cant sell you a new system?

 

[raynipper]

Ta baz off out now.

Ray

 

[raynipper]

I have looked to roll back to Windows 10 but can't see any options for that. Any ideas please.?

Ray.

 

[raynipper]

Thanks again Baz.
Now back to Windows 10 and have resolved all the problems foisted on me by Win 11. Bastards.

I Cant say I like 11. As usual it sometimes throws up stuff like this. Some stuff seems more long winded to do. It always seems they get on OS just perfect then they have to massively change it. Most of my clients have stuck to 10 Pro but one or two have slipped the net. The biggest PIA with 11 is avoiding setting up a Microsoft Account especially on the Home versions. It can be done but not easily. Can be a bugger to hack as well. I had to do some digital Forensics on a W11 laptop the other day but nobody had the password. Ten minute job when you know how. Took me a while to figure it out though.

 

[raynipper]

Now happily back on Win 10 and all my functions back again. Today Microsoft starts the NAG. Keeps telling me I need to restart to install the new updates. 22H2 or Windows 11.
Bugger that but how do I stop the nagging?

You can delay Windows 10 updates Ray. I sometimes do this if I am away in the van and dont have a great connection but its not wise to do so for long. Just make sure you avoid the big update for 11. It shouldn't install itself, you have to authorise it. I think it nags you less once you have rolled back.

 

[raynipper]

Well I will now avoid Win 11 for as long as possible. Maybe Microsoft might listen to all the complaints and problems some people are having with Win 11.

Ta Baz.

So what you are saying is a password is not much cop then?

Nah. They are not. Its really not that difficult. I used to have a bootable CD and USB stick that would do it in a flash but they dont work now. Its just a ten minute job though to hack 10 or 11 manually.

The Police always seem to be able to get into a laptop on TV shows easily enough so enough said BUT as I understand it is not at all easy to get into an Android phone without the password. People get fined in court over here for not giving up their password so presume that only the FBI and suchlike can get in with a bit of bother?
