    A few days ago i started up my computer and there was no sound, the sound icon on the bottom right said "no audio device is installed". Sound was working correctly before so i don't know what might have happened.

    Anyway i reinstalled the audio drivers and it seemed to fix the problem, but every now and then when i turn on my m14x, it gives the same error message. Normally i restart the computer and the problem seems to go away for a while, until it appears again.

    last thing i remember doing before i got this message for the first time is install a gamecube emulator called dolphin, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
