Audio issue

Question

All of a sudden I'm having issues with not having audio. I have a sound bar connect via aux and a headset hooked up through a rodecaster duo and both don't have sound coming out of them. I have tried to uninstall drivers, restart microsoft audio endpoint, reinstall nvidia graphics card, used the trouble shoot windows repair. I tried to mess with the sound mixer and nothing works. I ran out of ideas.

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

1. When the Rodecaster Duo and headset are disconnected, and only the soundbar is connected to the PC via the aux cable, do you get sound?
2. Can you check the Windows Sound Settings to see if the soundbar (Speakers/Headphones – Realtek or similar) is listed as the default playback device?

If the issue appeared recently, try doing a system restore process and see if it helps.

1. Click Windows + R key, type rstrui.exe, and click ok.
2. Select the date/time you would like to restore your computer.
3. Click Next > Finish to complete the restoration.
4. Unplug all of your audio devices and plug them in again.
5. Test your audio output.

Let me know how it goes.
