Update Caused Sound Failure

Today, Microsoft installed a huge update taking around an hour. After
that, my computer sound did not work. I went into device manager and
found that all three sound devices were enabled (Realtek mother board
sound, Nvidia video card sound and Creative Audigy Rx). I disabled the
Realtek and Nvidia sound and the Creative started working. Another
case where the update changed something that caused a problem. Hope
this helps someone with a similar problem.

Well, I noticed increased amount of disk i/o when using Firefox. Not
sure whether it's a Win 10 AU issue.

It's a heavy piece of crap of a program and has had memory leaks in
particular for as long as it has existed. My suggestion is to use
Brave if you like a Firefox-like browser which is lighter but includes
the most popular security features.

I am going to clean install Win 10 AU first. Will also clean install
Firefox 49 as a result.

It _might_ help but remember that the root cause is Firefox, not the
operating system or any neglect on the cleaning process of the
browser. Its core is weak and it's the reason Mozilla is seeking to
change it.

If it happens again, you could check the Sound icon in the
Task bar. Right click it and see if there is a Record and
Playback sub-item to use. In there, you can select
one-of-N sound devices. Several of the OSes have
that kind of selector logic down there.
