What Doth Life?
Hey, I just got a couple of sticks of memory after my old ones went bad (from one 8gb stick -> two 8gb). All I did was put them in, then go to the BIOS and set the mem frequency to 2400 to match the new sticks. Now in Windows10 all my audio is broken: none of the audio bars ever show audio is playing, and "test"ing the audio devices just says "failed to play test sound." This happens with both my speakers and headphones, which worked fine 15 minutes prior.

Attempted fixes: Reinstalled audio drivers, unplugged, replugged. Changed memory paging to auto (thanks google :downs:). Tried different quality settings on the audio devices.

Didn't change anything else.

EVGA z87 mobo with Realtek Audio and Corsair headset. New memory is 16gb Corsair Vengeance Pro ddr3 2400mhz.
