										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AnyDesk is a great solution for anybody who is in a pinch to either get assistance from another person or assist somebody with their computer issue. Best of all AnyDesk is free for personal use and is cheap enough to pay for commercial use if that is your need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this post I will walk you through using AnyDesk to receive help or use it to help another person. I&#8217;m going to start off with going over how to receive help because I am a techy and I often help others more than have them help me.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="use-anydesk-to-receive-help">Use AnyDesk to receive help</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First you need to download AnyDesk so go to <a href="https://anydesk.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="AnyDesk.com">AnyDesk.com</a> and click the red download button.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="454" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk1-1024x454.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6668" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk1-1024x454.png 1024w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk1-300x133.png 300w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk1-768x341.png 768w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk1-1320x586.png 1320w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk1.png 1451w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that you have it downloaded you need to click the AnyDesk icon to run it. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="147" height="56" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6671"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Give the user who is helping you the AnyDesk Number. It should be a string of 9 numbers.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="900" height="800" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6669" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk2.png 900w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk2-300x267.png 300w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk2-768x683.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When they remote in <strong>you will have to click Accept</strong> before they can see your screen.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="492" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk4.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6670" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk4.png 700w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk4-300x211.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now the user should be able to see your screen, move your cursor, etc.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-to-help-somebody-using-anydesk">How to help somebody using AnyDesk</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Install <a href="https://anydesk.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="AnyDesk">AnyDesk</a> on your computer and open it up.</li><li>Ask the person for their AnyDesk number (should be a string of 9 numbers)</li><li>Type in their AnyDesk number into one of the two spots shown below</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="713" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk5-1024x713.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6674" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk5-1024x713.png 1024w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk5-300x209.png 300w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk5-768x535.png 768w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk5.png 1042w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other user will have to hit Accept before you can see their screen but once they do you should be able to see and control their computer.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="713" src="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk6-1024x713.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6676" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk6-1024x713.png 1024w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk6-300x209.png 300w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk6-768x535.png 768w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/anydesk6.png 1042w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I get people coming to me all the time especially at work because their headset or speakers aren&#8217;t working in Windows. Many end users have called it a &#8220;Technical&#8221; issue which it really isn&#8217;t. More times than not this is a very simple fix which can be resolved by the end user themselves but most of them simply do not understand how to fix it themselves.</p>
<p>First thing to do is to open up the Playback devices in Windows</p>
<p>Go to Start ► Control Panel ► Sound ► Playback Tab and then adjust which one u wish to be the default.</p>
<p>Alternative Method: Bottom right of start bar ► Look for Speaker icon ► right click speaker icon and click playback options</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2053" src="https://t3dus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/speaker.png" alt="speaker" width="249" height="133" /></p>
<p>Now once you are in the Playback Devices window select the device u want to set as your default playback device and click set default.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2052" src="https://t3dus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/playbackdevices.png" alt="playbackdevices" width="414" height="462" srcset="https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/playbackdevices.png 414w, https://mattcrawford.me/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/playbackdevices-269x300.png 269w" sizes="(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px" /></p>
<p>9 times out of 10 this will fix your playback issue. The only time this won&#8217;t fix it is if you have some sort of audio driver issue that needs to be sorted out further or if the playback device in question isn&#8217;t working properly.</p>The post <a href="https://mattcrawford.me/adjust-windows-playback-options/">Adjust Windows Playback Options</a> first appeared on <a href="https://mattcrawford.me">Matt Crawford</a>.]]></content:encoded>
