Thank you for your reply. I just want to clarify because, as far as I know, desktop computers usually don't have a built-in speaker. Are you connecting an external one?
May I know the make and model of your device? Press Windows + R then type MSINFO32 then hit Enter:
Please check for pending Windows Updates: Go to Settings > System > Windows Update > Check for updates > Apply all pending updates. Check if the issue persists. Thank you.
The last time it worked was like a week back this wud happen regularly but after a while it wud switch back now it doesnt do that. This is a desktop computer and i believe it is the built in one
Hi. My name is Lester, and I am an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue. I'd be more than happy to assist you.
Have you installed any new software or updates recently?
When was the last time it worked without any problems?
Is this a laptop, and are you referring to the built-in speaker, or is it a desktop computer?
On your search bar type 'audio troubleshooter', select 'Find and fix problems with playing sound' from the results > Select 'Next' > Choose the audio you want to troubleshoot.
Right-click Start Menu > Select 'Device Manager.'
Click 'View' > Show hidden devices.
Expand 'Sound, video, and game controllers.'
Right-click on your audio driver > Update
Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
Choose "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
Select an older driver from the list and then click Next.
I hope this information is helpful. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions. Thank you
