If you cannot hear any sound in Windows, first ensure that the volume is unmuted and the output device is correctly set to [Speakers].

What to Check First

  1. The Windows volume is set to [Mute] or turned down to [0].
  2. The output device is set to a device other than [Speakers] (e.g., monitor or headset).
  3. The audio driver is corrupted due to a Windows update or system error, preventing the speaker from being recognized.
  4. 1. Right-click the [Speakers] icon on the right side of the taskbar, then select [Sound settings].
  5. 2. In [System > Sound], adjust the [Volume] slider and check whether you hear a notification sound (ding).
  6. 3. Click [Choose where to play sound] and ensure that [Speakers] is correctly set.
  7. 4. Check the [General > Audio] section. If the button shows [Allow], audio is currently disabled. Click [Allow] to enable it. If the button shows [Don't allow], audio is already enabled.
  8. 5. Select [Test] in [Output settings] to check if the sound plays correctly.
  9. 2. Click [Managing Sound Devices] on the right side.
