Windows 10: Windows 10 - Audio not working no sound

I was listening to music and out of nowhere my audio cut out for my headphones and I could not hear anything. Apparently my microphone is working fine but my audio is not. I have tried literally everything. I did everything the bot told me to do when I asked for help in sound settings and none of it worked. I have looked up countless videos and the troubleshoot tells me there are no problems. I do not have another port for my headphones.

Sound/Audio not working after upgrading to Windows 10.

Hello Davis,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate the troubleshooting methods performed to resolve the issue on your own.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• What are the troubleshooting steps performed to resolve the issue?
• Is the audio drivers visible under Device manager?
• Have you updated the audio drivers after upgrading to Windows 10?

You may be facing the above issue due to the incompatible, non-updated or corrupted audio drivers installed on the PC. When the driver is in-compatible or corrupted with the operating system, it will not perform its normal task at times.



I suggest you to download and install the latest and most compatible audio driver for Windows 10 operating system from the manufacturer’s website and check if the device driver is visible under
Device manager.



To check if the audio drivers are installed on the PC, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Device manager from the context menu.
• Expand Sound, video and game controllers option from the window and check if the drivers are visible and installed.

Refer to the link below on No sound in Windows and check if it helps:
