Good day! I am Independent Advisor Paul R. and also a Microsoft/Windows user like you and I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. I understand that you are having an issue with the audio on your laptop.
Kindly check and refer to the steps below and hopefully this will help out on your query.
Method 1: Run the audio troubleshooter
- Use the search box on your taskbar and search for troubleshoot. In the results, you should see an option that says Troubleshoot settings then select this one.
- In the following windows, look at the Get up and running section for the option that says Playing Audio, and select it. Then select Run the Troubleshooter.
- A new troubleshooter icon will open up on your taskbar. Select it to open the new window. You will now have an option to troubleshoot different kinds of connected speakers, including built-in speakers and headphones. In most cases you’ll want to choose your default speakers, but you can customize this to your device. Select Next when you are done.
- Let the troubleshooter run, and then check if this has resolved the issue.
Method 2: Update the sound card driver
- Open the Start menu and search for Device Manager. Click the relevant result.
- Inside the Device Manager you will see a list of icon options. Choose Sound, video and game controllers. If you have a sound card, it will show up there.
- Open the sound card by double-clicking it, then go to the Driver tab and look for the option to Update Driver. This will start an automatic Windows search to find driver updates and download them.
- After the update is finished, restart and check if this has resolved the issue.
Regards,
Paul R..
