Hi,

Method 1:

If the issue persists I would also suggest you to start the Audio service and set it to Automatic:

a. Go to the Start screen.

b. Type “Services.msc” without quotes and press Enter.

c. Right click on Audioservice and click on Properties.

d. Set the Startup type as Automatic and then click Startunder Service status.

e. Click on OK.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to set the speaker as the default audio device and check.

a.      Press “Windows Key + C” to open a “Charms Bar”

b.      Go to settings and type control panel and select sound.

c.      Click the Playback tab. Notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is Speakers. Make sure that your audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:

d.       On the Playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and make sure that the Default Format is set to the value that you expect. When you finish, close this window to return to the previous window.

e.      On the Playback tab, select the playback device, click Configure, and then make sure the configurations are set correctly.

f.      Select the sound device that you want as the default sound device, and then click Set Default.

g.      Click OK to save your settings and to close the Sound dialog box,.

Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    1. What is the make and model of the computer?
    2. Have you made any recent hardware or software changes to the computer prior to the issue?

    You might be facing this issue due to an outdated or corrupt sound card driver. I suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1 : Run the Sound Troubleshooter and check if it works.

    Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

    a. Press Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the Charms bar.

    b. Type Troubleshooting and click Troubleshooting under Settings.

    c. Now type Sound Troubleshooter in the search option.

    d. Click on Sound troubleshooter to run the troubleshooter.

    Method 2 :

    Uninstall the Sound card drivers and reinstall

    Follow the steps to uninstall the Sound card drivers and in-built speaker drivers.

    a. Press Windows Key + X and then click Device Manger.

    b. Search for Sound, Video and Game Controllers and expand it.

    c. Right on the soundcard driver and select uninstall.

    You can logon to the computer manufacturer website and install the latest driver for the computer.

    Reference:

    No sound in Windows
