    Hey guys,
    A few weeks ago I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 and everything seemed to be fine but the last few days the sound keeps cutting out after being turned on for a while. I genuinely have no idea what is causing this issue and only know that signing in and out again fixes it temporarily. Anyone have any ideas?

    Could be a loose connection for the speakers.

    I thought it might be something like that but it doesn't really explain why the sound comes back after I sign out or restart the laptop. A lot of the time it seems to happen when playing games but not always

    Does it get moved about at all when you are restarting? Could take very little movement to go from connected to not connected and back again.

    No I keep it stationary 90% of the time, could it be a bug with Windows 10? I read that something like this can happen but nothing identical to my problem

    It's possible that it's a driver issue. What is the make/model of the laptop?

    could be a driver problem with your sound card. Find out the make of your driver and look for the makers website download and install new drivers.

    Sounds very likely. Alot of people seemed to have that issue at various times with windows 8 after updates.
