No Sound on PC

‍

If your PC is experiencing issues with sound playback, follow these simple steps to identify and resolve the problem.

Step 1: Check Volume Settings

Right-click on the sound icon in the bottom right corner of the screen and click “Open Sound Settings”.

Select "Sound control panel" on the right side of the window.

In the sound control panel, open the "Playback" tab.

Right-click on the audio device with a green checkmark (default device) and click "Test."

If sound is working, you'll hear a chime and see the green bar move. If not, right-click the device, select "Properties," go to the "Levels" tab, adjust the slider to the max, and ensure the speaker icon is unmuted.

Step 2: Restart or Change Audio Device

Try restarting your PC, as a reset can resolve many issues.

If the problem persists, consider changing the audio device.

Use a different audio device (e.g., headset or earphones) and set them as the default device following Step 1.

Step 3: Install or Update Audio Drivers

Check for updates through the Windows icon at the bottom of the screen.

Click on "Settings," select "Update and Security," and go to "Windows Update."

Click "Check for updates" and download any available updates.

Restart your PC to ensure the new drivers are applied.

For branded laptops like DELL or HP, use their respective applications (e.g., DELL Command Update) to download and install drivers.
