do you have audio for anything else on your computer? if you put a DVD in, will it play the sound from it? If you go to YOUTUBE, can you hear sound?

uninstall / reinstall your programming for your flight stick and see if that works.

oh, and next time, try to come up with a better title/subject line other than "I'm flippin out" how about "No Sounds after Computer Update"

All other sounds work fine. I did as you asked, nothing. Checked in my device manager and got this message....
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

what was that error message for? Sound, or joystick/game pad.

next question(s)... what OS do you have, and what joystick/yoke are you using?

UNINSTALL the USB Ports. YES... i know it sounds stupid, just do it. UNPLUG EVERYTHING (except power and monitor cables)... shut down the computer. wait 30 seconds, and power it back up.

1 by 1 plug things back in and wait for your OS to recognize it.

I had a problem with my WIN 7 64bit home, kicked out my usb ports and this is exactly what I had to do it. Uninstall them, Unplug, restart, plug back in.. and everything was fine as far as USB.

This was told to me by a reputable I.T. Consultant for the NAVY. I trust him highly with my computer.

Glad y'all got it working. Happy Birthday.

Im just curious, would anyone else have said to uninstall the USB ports from the Device Manager other than me?

Not quite. I've never needed to "uninstall" the USBs from the devise manager, but I've had do the unplug/replug operation to fix a joystick on my system before. Who would thought, huh. Gotta love M$!

VERY suggested.

Make so that Windows proposes you the updates, and use your brain (and possibly Google as well) to understand if it's needed or can be forgot. Wink

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
