Thanks you very much for your jelp. Disabling all enhancements solved my issue.
Awesome and thank you for confirming that this fix worked for you and highlighting what exactly worked in your case.
I did everything you said and there is NO sound; well, actually, there is “BARELY AUDIBLE” sound. Now what!?
What do you mean by barely audible sound? If there is any sound at all it would indicate that its working. Check your cables and connections and make sure your speaker is working. Also did you try the various sound settings (Hz) one at a time.
