Method 1. Run Audio troubleshooter:

Press the Windows Key + R, then type in:

msdt.exe /id AudioPlaybackDiagnostic

Then hit OK and follow the prompts to run the Audio troubleshooter.

Method 2. Roll back the audio driver:

-Press the Windows key + X

-Go to Device Manager

-Expand Sound, video and game controllers

-Look for Realtek (R) Audio or High Definition Audio

-Right-click and click Update Driver

-Select Browse my computer for drivers

-Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer

-Choose an old driver or another driver name, then select it and hit next until it installs.

-Restart the PC and check.

Note: If the issue persists, please download and install the audio driver from your manufacturer’s website.
