audio is not working?

Hello Tanzila,

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your audio. Audio problems can have a variety of causes, and at this time I'd like to start with the following information in order to gain a better understanding of your situation and offer advice.

1. I'm wondering if by audio not working you mean the audio input or audio output is not working properly? Or does it mean that both of them are not working properly?



2. I would like to know when this started happening? Did you make any changes before that?



3. I would like to know if the audio is not working properly when you are using external speakers or headphones? Or are you experiencing this problem using your computer's default speakers and microphone?

Alternatively, if you have not tried some of the troubleshooting steps on your own, then you can try the following basic troubleshooting steps first.

1. Check Audio Device Connections:
   
   • Ensure that your audio devices (e.g., headphones, speakers) are properly connected to your computer or device. If you're using external speakers or headphones, make sure they are plugged in correctly and powered on.
     
2. Audio Output/Input Selection:
   
   • Verify that the correct audio output/input device is selected in your system settings. In Windows, right-click the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Open Sound settings" to check the output/input device.
     
3. Update Audio Drivers:
   
   • Outdated or incompatible audio drivers can cause audio problems. Check the manufacturer's website for your computer or sound card to download and install the latest audio drivers.
     
4. Run Audio Troubleshooter (Windows):
   
   • In Windows, you can use the built-in audio troubleshooter to diagnose and potentially fix audio problems. Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Sound" > "Troubleshoot."
     
5. Check Audio Settings in Applications:
   
   • Ensure that audio is not muted or set to low volume within the specific applications or media players you're using.
     
6. Test with Different Audio Sources:
   
   • Try playing audio from different sources, such as music files, videos, online streaming, or other apps, to see if the issue is specific to one source or application.
     

Looking forward to hearing from you, by knowing more will help me to provide better support.

Sincerely

| Microsoft Community Support Specialist
