Here is How to Fix No Sound on Windows 10

One of the most common problems with Windows 10 is no sound. Particularly immediately after upgrading from a previous version of Windows. So if you’re experiencing this problem, rest assured, you’re not alone. More importantly, it’s usually a pretty easy problem to resolve.
Here are three simple fixes you can try. You don’t necessarily have to try them all. Just start at the top of the list and work your way down.
Method 1: Check your speaker settings
Method 2: Uninstall your audio driverMethod 3: Update your audio driver

Method 1: Check your speaker settings

1) Right-click the sound icon at the bottom right corner of your desktop and click Playback devices.

2) In the Playback tab, ensure there’s a green tick on Speakers. This indicates that your speakers are the default playback device. 

If your Speakers are NOT already set as the default, this is doubtless your problem. To fix, just click them, click Set Default, then click OK and test whether you have sound.

If your Speakers are set as the default playback device, and you’re still not hearing any sound, you should experiment with different sound formats. To do this, click Speakers then Properties.

3) Go to the Advanced tab, and in the Default Format section, select a different sample rate and bit depth, then click Test. Repeat this process until you find a format that works, then click OK. If you don’t find a format that works, proceed to Method 2 below.

 Method 2: Uninstall your audio driver

If your sound driver has somehow been removed, corrupted or become incompatible with Windows 10, you won’t be able to hear any sound from your speakers. (This quite often happens after an upgrade to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows.)
The simplest way to check if this is what has happened is to uninstall your audio driver:
1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key  and X (at the same time) to invoke the quick-access menu.
2) Click Device Manager.

3) In Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers,
right-click on your sound card, and click Uninstall.

4) If you’re asked to confirm the uninstall, check the Delete the driver software for this device box and click OK.

5) Restart your computer and check to see if the problem is resolved. If it’s not, move on to Method 3 below.

Method 3: Update your audio driver

If experimenting with different sound formats and uninstalling your audio driver didn’t bring back your sound in Windows 10, it’s likely that you’re using the wrong audio driver.
There are two ways you can get the right audio driver: manually or automatically.
Manual driver update – You can update your audio driver manually by going to the manufacturer’s website and searching for the most recent correct driver for your sound card and your variant of Windows 10. 
Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your audio driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct audio driver for your sound card and your variant of Windows 10, and it will download and install it correctly:
1) Download and install Driver Easy.
2) Run Driver Easy and click Scan Now. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

3) Click the Update button next to a flagged audio driver to automatically download and install the correct version of this driver (you can do this with the FREE version of Driver Easy).
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)

4) Restart your computer and check to see if you now have sound.

We hope one of these methods resolves your Windows 10 audio problem. Please feel free to leave your comment below if you have any questions.
