  1. Win 10 - 2004 update: System sounds do not play in headphones.


    Hello

    I just recently updated to win 10 2004 and faced a problem, that system sounds do not play in headphones while other sounds are played as usual.

    I have two sound devices: speakers and headphones. When speakers are set as default sound device all sounds are played just fine. If headphones is selected as default device - music and application sounds still present, but system sounds are stop playing. Is there any way to fix it?

    :)

  2. Win 10 1607 sound speakers and headphones

    No errors and all troubleshooting step to include having Microsoft support take over my desktop twice stepping back to Win 10 1511 which works fine then reloading Win 10 1607 which still failed to fix it. The only fix was to buy Headphones with a USB
    connection which work, but my plug in 3.5 mm jacks do not as sound plays from both headset and main speakers and support tech said I should wait for up dated sound drivers to make the 3.5 mm jacks work because the second level Microsoft tech could not fix
    it.


    Motoring on,

    Speaker and Headphones still playing sound

    Hello Brandon,

    Thank you for replying back with the status of this issue.

    Make sure your headphones aren't plugged into the line out (headphone) jack of your sound card or computer (unless you want to be listening with headphones rather than speakers). When you plug in headphones, most computers automatically
    cut the sound to the speakers. Ensure the headphone is fully and firmly inserted into the correct jack. Plug in the headphone and see if the same shows up in Device Manager.

    I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Run inbuilt audio troubleshooter and check if it works. Follow the steps given below.

    • Press Windows Key +R, type
      Control Panel.
    • Typetroubleshooting in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.
    • Now click on view all option.
    • Click on Playing audio and follow the prompts to run the troubleshooter.
    Note: If your computer is having problems playing sound, try using the Playing Audio troubleshooter to fix the problem. It checks for common problems with your volume settings,
    your sound card or driver, and your speakers or headphones.

    If the issue persists, follow method 2.

    Method 2:

    I would also suggest to download and install the latest soundcard drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check if it helps.

    How to download and install drivers,
    please follow the link given below.

    Download and install drivers in Windows 8.1

    Note: A driver is software that a device uses to work with your PC. Every device needs a driver to work with your PC. So, in many cases, you can plug in a device, and it’ll work
    automatically.

    Windows can also download device software and info. This might include an app that the device manufacturer created to go with your device or info like the product name, manufacturer, and model number, to help you distinguish between
    similar devices.

    Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update them automatically, or you can install the updated drivers yourself. Windows notifies you if it detects a suspicious or unsafe driver you shouldn't install.

    If the issue persists, follow method 3.

    Method 3:

    Check with the volume settings. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

    • Right click on the speaker icon in taskbar and select volume control options.
    • Put a check mark on "All devices currently playing sound".
    • Make sure you have "The default communication device unchecked".
    • Place a check mark on both speakers and headphones. Click Apply and OK.
    If the issue persists, please follow method 4

    Method 4:

    I would suggest you to refer to the steps in the article given below and check if it helps.

    No sound in Windows

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/...1&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

    Note: The above article will help you identify and fix common sound problems in Windows, including no sound coming from your speakers or headphones.

    Also try to install latest chipset drivers in the system and check if it helps.

    The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

    For more information:

    I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by
