"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
