Hi, I didn't know where else to post this based on the titles of each forum, so I figured "software" was the closest I could get.
The deal is that after a video driver update the other day, I lost sound in my browsers (Chrome is what I use, but I checked Firefox also, no sound there either). Also, when loading videos in YouTube, they take a long time to load and I get a message saying "If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device". Once the video finally loads (30-60 seconds or so), there is still no sound.
I have....
Is this a problem anyone is familiar with ?
Is there anything else I can do ?
I really appreciate any and all help... thank you.
Specs:
Windows 7/64, AMD FX-8350, nVidia GeForce 1060/6GB, 16GB ram, etc...

I have....
- Checked to make sure Chrome isn't muted in Sound Mixer
- Restarted (many times)
- Run AV (Malwarebytes, Webroot, Chrome's built-in version)
- Uninstalled my graphics driver (nVidia)
- Reinstalled my graphics driver
- Updated Flash (but does Chrome even use flash ?, I'm confused about that)
- Reset Chrome
- Uninstalled/reinstalled Chrome (even though it affects Firefox also)
- Checked download speed (115 Mbps consistently)
- And I have looked for a few days online trying to find answers.
