Windows 10: I cannot unmute my laptop's sound!

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion 14-ce1510sa; Product no: 6AR53EA; Serial No: 5CD91964BT. Recently, I replaced my 128 GB SSD to 1TB and 8GB RAM to 16GB. It was working fine and suddenly I cannot unmute. I tried troubleshooting, updating drivers, but nothing seems to be working. I tried posting some SS here but it's not letting me. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

:)

 

Windows has started unmuting sound on bootup.

Have you tried this?:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Click on Hardware and sound.
3. Click the Change system sounds link
   Uncheck startup sound

Prevent websites from unmuting sound in Windows 10

I have the sound muted in windows 10. Certain websites, CNN in particular, have some way to turn on the system sound. This shouldn't be possible but its happening regularly with Google Chrome. Any suggestions how to prevent a website from unmuting the
windows system sound?
