How to Fix No Sounds on Windows 10?

Fix No Sounds on Windows 10:

No Sounds on Windows 10 is one of the most common issues with Windows 10. Especially soon after upgrading from an older version of Windows. So, realize that you're not alone if you're having problems with this. What's more, it's usually a straightforward problem to solve.

While hardware issues can sometimes cause sound problems, the software is the most common cause. Large Windows 10 updates, for example, can provide a slew of new features while simultaneously introducing new issues. The patch may conflict with older audio drivers or software from the manufacturer of your sound card.

How You Can Fix No Sound Issue on Windows 10

Method 1: Check Cable and Volumes

Whether your external audio devices, such as speakers and headphones, are not producing Sound, check to see if the cable is broken. You might try plugging them into a different computer to see if they work. If they work on another computer, the issue is most likely due to a faulty cable.

You won't be able to hear anything if the audio device is muted. Check to see whether your speaker or headphones were accidentally muted.

Method 2: Check Your Speaker Settings

• Playback devices can be found by right-clicking the sound icon in the bottom right corner of your desktop.
• Make sure Speakers has a green tick in the Playback tab. This means that the default playback device is your speakers.
• This is almost certainly your issue if your Speakers aren't already set as the default. To repair, right-click them, select Set Default, then OK, and check for Sound.
• If you're still not hearing anything after setting your Speakers as the default playback device, try experimenting with different sound formats. To do so, go to Speakers > Properties.
• Select a different sample rate and bit depth in the Default Format section of the Advanced tab, then click Test. Repeat until you've found a format that works, then click OK. If you can't find a suitable format, move on to Method 3 below.

Method 3: Uninstall Your Audio Driver

You won't be able to hear anything from your speakers if your sound driver has been deleted, corrupted, or has become incompatible with Windows 10. (This frequently occurs when upgrading to Windows 10 from a previous version of Windows.)

Uninstalling your audio driver is the most straightforward approach to see if this is the case:

• To open the quick-access menu, hit the Windows logo key and X (simultaneously) on your keyboard.
• Click Device Manager.
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers in Device Manager, then right-click on your sound card and select Uninstall.
• If you're prompted to confirm the uninstall, select Delete the driver software for this device from the drop-down menu and click OK.
• Check to see if the problem has been resolved by restarting your computer.

Method 4: Update Your Audio Driver

If trying other sound formats and removing your audio driver didn't fix your sound problem in Windows 10, you're probably using the wrong audio driver.

You can get the correct audio driver in one of two ways: manually or automatically.

Manual driver update: You can manually upgrade your audio driver by visiting the manufacturer's website and looking for the most up-to-date right driver for your sound card and Windows 10 version.

Automatic driver update: If you don't have the time, patience, or computer skills to upgrade your audio driver manually, you can use Driver Easy to do it for you. Driver Easy will detect your system and locate the correct audio driver for your sound card and Windows 10 version, which it will then download and install correctly:

• Download and install Driver Easy.
• Run Driver Easy and select Scan Now from the menu. After that, Driver Easy will scan your computer for any drivers that aren't working properly.
• To automatically download and install the correct version of a flagged audio driver, click the Update icon next to it (you can do this with the FREE version of Driver Easy).
• Alternatively, you can select Update All to have all the missing or out-of-date drivers on your system immediately downloaded and installed. (The Pro version is required for this, including full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee.) When you click Update All, you'll be asked to upgrade.)
• Check to see if you now have Sound after restarting your computer.

Method 5: Disable Audio Enhancements

Audio improvements can cause problems in your listening experience. However, you can try turning off audio improvements to fix no sound difficulties with Windows 10.

To do so, take the following steps:

• Open Control Panel.
• Select Sound from the Small icon.
• Choose one of the Default Devices and then Properties.
• Select the Disable all enhancements check box on the Enhancements tab. Then press OK.
• Check to see whether the sound problem has been fixed.

Note: If you have more than one default device, you may need to repeat the procedures above for each one until the sound problem is rectified.

Method 6: Restart Audio Services

To restart audio services, follow these procedures.

• To remove the run box, hit Win+R (the Windows logo key and the R key) on your keyboard at the same time.
• In the run box, type services. msc.
• Restart the Windows Audio service by right-clicking on it.
• Check to see if the problem has been resolved by restarting your computer.
