Thank you Joe for introducing me to the Audio Troubleshooter (had no idea there was one!)

I had several speakers HP Realtech etc listed on the screen
Choosing Speakers WsAudio_Device
the Troubleshooter then informed me that the selcted device is not the default audio device.
So Apply this fix.. and the Sounds are back!!!

But then I lost them trying to type this up for everyone to let know which steps worked for me...
So I went back to the Audio troubleshooter and this time I switched the default onto the HP Realtech device.
Now the sounds are back!!! (taking my fingers off the keyboard before I lose sounds again!)

Thanks Joe!!

Monday morning, Practice.

Celine is reporting such issues too..

Practice, I didn't say that exactly. Your case is completely different from mine. Actually, I had plugged my earphones in but the sound kept coming in speakers only, at a low volume. May have broken something inside, while plugging my earphones in.

Any idea?

juicy1 | 16-08-2014 00:39

Try the same thing i suggested Celine

PracticePractic | 16-08-2014 00:45

Ok Celine.. and thanks for the song link--really appreciate it.... its nice to hear good music from the speakers again!!!

A computer-like question, I noticed the time for LSI at the top of the web page, is set (at this moment) at 22:15 pm Saturday August 16, 2014... the only city/ zone I can find that on a time zone map is AZOST Azores Summer Time... is LSI based on an internet hosting site in the Azores? If not, why does the time show its there now? Just a computer-like question I thought you might know answer to! Thanks again Joe!

Ray | 16-08-2014 22:18

Hey, I'm Ray, Joe's assistant

LSI Clock

juicy1 | 16-08-2014 22:26

High five to Ray with the assist!

PracticePractic | 16-08-2014 22:48

Thanks Ray! (I think) I clicked on it and got a new tab.... just shows the Ask Joe Page with the LSI clock at the top.. now it says...22:46 (for those in 12 hr formats its 10:48 pm) should I have seen something else? Was asking for location of time zone the clock is working under and I found it as the AZOST Azores Summer time... just wondered about the hosting location as usually sites use the time zone of the hosting nation.....

juicy1 | 16-08-2014 22:49

Did you right click and click open in new tab? If so, it doesnt work that way. You need to left click.

Joeyy | 16-08-2014 22:55

It uses GMT as in the UK, although it's currently one hour behind us.

PracticePractic | 16-08-2014 22:56

Cool... missed that click. sorry should have known better....
Thanks all! Joe and Ray!

Captain_Keeta | 16-08-2014 22:59

Hey, I'm Ray, Joe's assistant

That's awesome.

PracticePractic | 16-08-2014 23:04

Aha Joey! Welcome to the LSI time mystery! If it is GMT, why is it now showing one hour slow? I suspected it would be GMT but I don't have screen shots of LSI to compare with times from earlier visits to site, so I was unable to see if when I first came here to visit if the time was set differently and showed true GMT time... (or am I just witnessing an "artifact"? Something like the difference between true North and magnetic North... something we can't fix......

Daylight savings practice

Always interested in time so some day I'd like to visit the Royal Observatory in Greenwich to see where the world sets its time from (or used to in the case of atomic clocks everywhere now)

PracticePractic | 16-08-2014 23:09

AHA the Mystery is solved! So I'll come back last week of October and everything will be synced up again!

Olivia_Ka | 18-09-2014 15:31

I had let my computer on this site and when I came back 5 minutes later, 2 tabs had opened automatically, each one with some sites that could prevent my computer from slowing down. So I downloaded Drivers Manager and Tuneup Pro and I wonder if that helps... I'm sure I have removed LSI from the "pop-up" section of my browser recently.

juicy1 | 18-09-2014 16:19

I would run malwarebytes and make sure your antivirus is updated.

Olivia_Ka | 18-09-2014 16:25

It can't download malwarebytes, Joe. It has been indicated me by Norton as a phishing site!

juicy1 | 18-09-2014 16:27

Well Norton is wrong, you can override Norton.

Olivia_Ka | 18-09-2014 16:46

But do you know if Drivers Manager and Tuneup Pro help?

OK, ready to download malwarebytes, it hasn't been indicated as phishing because I used another site.

juicy1 | 18-09-2014 16:56

Ive never heard of either

Olivia_Ka | 18-09-2014 17:50

OK, I've run a scan, so what should I do now? Use Norton again and check the full system?

Olivia_Ka | 18-09-2014 17:50

The malwarebytes scan lasted 30 minutes.

juicy1 | 18-09-2014 17:51

Sure. The additional tabs may have just been a result of one of the sites you visit.
