"MME device internal error"

Hello

I was going about my own business and editing a video when a dialog box saying "MME device internal error" popped up. My audio was no longer playing during video previews, and when I went to the Audio Devices tab in Preferences to try to change the output device, I received the same error message.

If anyone could tell me the fix ASAP, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

    Set input to none: that might do the trick.

    Edit: screenshot added.

    Open access to the microphone and everything will work.
    Privacy and security - microphone. In the system settings section.

        I have been reading the various solutions and fixes to the MME Internal Device issue. ( which I am currently experiencing)

         

        My question....

        Does this issue also create  an irritating loud audible "bing bong" sound thru the speakers.

        It sounds like a notification sound.

         

        It is not coming from an online source.

         

        SOLVED.

        1. Turned off INPUT in Hardware Device Options

        2. Bing Bong sound is System Sounds for Connect / Disconnect ie plugs in the sound card.  I set Systems Sound for these to NONE

        The solve for this is not right if you intend to use an audio input. Others have mentioned it here, but to reiterate, this is a Windows 10 permissions issue. To solve it head to Start > Settings > Privacy > App permissions (left column) > Microphone > Allow apps to access your microphone = On

        This setting effects ALL audio inputs, line-in, stereo-mix, mic etc.
