Recently my audio stopped working while playing video on the media player. If i tried on Potplayer it says Failed to start playback. It is not possible to play the audio.

If i tried it on VLC again the audio does work.

Audio doesn't work for online videos too. In all the cases, video does get played but without the audio. Audio for mp3 files works just fine.

OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit

Driver : Realtek High Definition Audio

turn it off. There might be a programming running to trying to take exclusive control.
