Very weird bug: UE4 crash stops all audio and video

At first I just though it was a coincidence, but not any more. Every time unreal engine 4 crashes (4.7 and 4.8), all audio and video stops. In itunes, I press play, and it says it starts, but doesn’t move and has no audio. In youtube, it say it starts, but it doesnt move as well. There is no video or sound. The same problem occurs in VLC, and any other audio/video website/program. The only way to fix it is to restart my computer. I’ve tested this MANY times, and have come to the conclusion: Unreal engine 4 crash causes this problem.

How Unreal is doing this, I have no idea. But it happens ONLY when UE4 crashes.

Hey DrakeWalker,

This could be an issue with your graphics card failing. Would you mind providing me with your ‘dxdiag’ so I can take a look at your computers hardware specifications?

When was the last time you update your graphics card?

Thank you,

I updated my graphic driver a few months ago. I will update to the latest version, and see if it still stops my audio/video.

Not to sound rude or anything, but i should be able to find out today :x.

If it does stop again, what part of Dxdiag would you like to see?

You can simply provide me with the diagnostic as a .txt file and I can gather the information I need from there.

Thank you,
