Alienware M15X Sound and Camera Issue

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Hi,

So I have to problems, both are quite minor but I would like to get them solved.

I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

 

First the sound problem:

Sometimes, at random my sound will stop working for skype and any new games that i try to open up. however for games or programs that are already using sound they will continue to work but then when i want to quit them i will have to force exit by opening task manager or ending the process. And when I want to try opening programs that require sound, the program won't start up. Also when i shut down Windows Explorer *ding* sound won't play and i will again have to force shut down.

 

Has anyone encountered this type of problem before?

 

Second Problem:

Just today, after restarting my computer my facial recognition wasn't working and the camera was not turning on, the white LED wasn't even on. Youcam and other camera-based software also cannot use my camera. In device manager the camera is displayed there (is it "integrated webcam"?). I have already tried the fn+f9 but still no luck

 

Thanks in advance if you can solve either of my dilemmas

When did this happen? Try un-installing and re-installing drivers and apps?

The sound issue started last year...

The camera issue started last night after rebooting the computer.
