I have a Windows 10 PC running Plex Media Server and Plex HTPC.
This PC is connected via HDMI, to a Samsung TV.
I turned off the TV with the remote, and turned it back on again a couple of hours later. PC was running ther whole time.
And now, the sound is muffled, like someone is holding a pillow over the speakers (noone is, I checked!). The sound is equally muffled on media played through Plex, media played through MPC, and on Youtube.
I am pretty sure this is a windows 10 problem. I’ve encountered the same issue before with other hardware.
But I can’t for the life of me figure this one out.
What I have tried:
- I’ve tried turning it off, and the non again.
- Physically unplugging the HDMI, and plugging it back in.
- checked that the correct audio output is used, tried switching and switching back as well.
- checked TV settings and audio modes, tried all four and they all sound the same.
- tried playback through different media as described above.
- tried updating drivers.
- tried uninstalling audio devices, and reinstalling.
- Probably something else too, but can’t remember now.
Any ideas?
