    Audio appears to work, but I hear no sound


    Audio appears to work, but I hear no sound. The volume mixer shows when there is sound, but no sound comes out of speakers. When I look at sound, I can test the speakers and they work. But when I changes the Intel Display Audio to the speakers, there is nothing. I can change the default to Speakers and to Realtek Digital Audio, but I get no sound. If I leave it on Intel Display Audio, I can see the audio but I hear nothing. This all worked find yesterday, but I added a second display and now the sound doesn't work. Removed second display, sound still doesn't work. Tried removing and reinstalling audio driver. No difference. Tried rebooting several times, no difference.

    :)

    Can only hear system sounds.

    Thanks for the answer, but none of the two steps worked. I still only have the system sounds.
