Windows 10: Audio is shown to be playing as normal and green in Sound Playback but I cannot hear...

I have entirely reinstalled my drivers, gotten new drivers, enabled and disabled drivers and output devices, and nothing has worked at all.

Playback Audio

To separate your speakers and headphones into their own playback devices on Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the volume icon in the taskbar and select "Sounds".
   
2. In the Sounds window, go to the "Playback" tab.
   
3. Right-click on the audio device you want to split (e.g. "Speakers") and select "Properties".
   
4. In the Properties window, go to the "Advanced" tab.
   
5. Under "Default Format", select a format that is compatible with your audio device (e.g. "16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality)").
   
6. Check the box next to "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".
   
7. Click "Apply" and then "OK".
   
8. Right-click on the audio device again and select "Configure Speakers".
   
9. Select the appropriate speaker setup (e.g. "Stereo") and click "Next".
   
10. Select the audio device you want to use as your default playback device (e.g. "Speakers") and click "Next".
    
11. Test your audio device by playing sound and verifying that it is playing through the correct device.
    

Repeat these steps for any additional audio devices you want to split. Once completed, you should see separate playback devices for each audio device in the Sounds window.

 

Setting up two separate audio devices in 'playback devices', passed tone test but no sound.

I have three audio devices connected to my computer:

• HDMI - TV (updated ATI drivers to fix this)
• Analog (green) - Monitor
• Analog (black) - speakers

Initially the monitor and speakers played the same output simultaneously. I wanted to be able to switch between outputs in 'play back devices'.

In Realtek HD Audio Manager I changed two settings "Make Front and Rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously" and "disable front panel jack detection". Now I have three devices in 'playback devices', TV, Monitor and Speakers.
The TV and Speakers work correctly, but my monitor doesn't have sound despite passing the tone test. When a video is play, the green bar goes up and down in playback devices but no sound.

 

No sound while playing audio and video files.

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
• Did you try the same on a different player?
• Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

• Right click on sound icon.
• Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

Follow these Steps to run Playing Audio Troubleshooter in Windows 10.

1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

2. Select Troubleshooting.

3. Select View all on the top left corner.

4. Click on Playing audio.
