In a new window, go to the Port Settings tab and press the Advanced button.Find the device you need to reassign COM port and right-click it.Locate the Ports section and expand it.This is a universal command that works in any recent Windows version On your keyboard, press Win + R and enter the devmgmt.msc command.Restarting Windows works too, but it's not practical to have to restart windows every couple hours. This will get it working again, until it eventually stops working a few hours later. What I found that works as a temporary fix, is to uninstall the device from Device Manager, "scan for hardware changes", and let it reinstall the driver.

Updated to the latest AMD drivers - Sound still stopped working eventuallyĬompletely uninstall AMD audio driver and install Microsoft driver from Control Panel>Device Manager - Sound still stopped working eventually Stopping and restarting Audiosrv service from Task Manager - Same as above, doesn't fix anything Unchecking "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" and "Give exclusive mode applications priority" from the device properties>advanced menu - This didn't fix anything, and even after a restart the sound still stops working. Please close any devices that are playing audio to this device and then try again." After it eventually stops working, if I go to the device in the sound menu and right click>test, I get a popup window that says "The device is being used by another application. After upgrading to Win10, sound will eventually stop working after some time (anywhere from 1 hour to a day later).

I have a TV plugged in to HDMI (AMD Radeon R7 200 series) that I use for both video and sound. It looks like lots of other people are having this problem as well. I have searched and read everywhere I can to find a solution, but I still can't figure this out.
