My Audio keeps going out on my g7 any ideas?

[DeannaB]

The audio seems to work off and on.Constantly have to reinstall the driver.Was bough 2 years ago, sat in drawer until Sept of 2014, and then I got it and started using it. Why would it be doing this?

Are you using windows 7?

 

[DeannaB]

yes

These driver problems don't exist in windows 8. If they are from 2012 they might contain drivers that not fully optimized for 7 only 8.

Okay so here's the deal: I've had my laptop for over a year now and I've had no problems whatsoever (except when I upgraded to Windows 8.1 - it was terrible so I rebooted it back to Windows 8). So, since about last week, I noticed the sound going at times. I do be on YouTube looking up some videos and they play but without any sound. I thought this was just a glitch so I thought "maybe if I turn it off and on again" (great words from The IT Crowd), it should work again. It did, but only for a short time. A day later this happened again so I do the same thing again and again, turning it off and on, day after day. It was really annoying to open up my laptop and restarting it. This goes on until about 2 days ago; I went onto the forums in search for an answer.

Does the computers speakers work or is it just the headphones? In that case you might have a screwed up headphone jacket/input

From what your describing you have *bad wires to the sound card* (don't know how to translate that perfectly).
