Windows 10: Audio stopped playing on Windows 11

So the audio on my Lenovo 330s-15ikb does not play suddenly. On the taskbar it shows the volume is at full, but in settings its 0, and even if I try to increase it, it just decreases suddenly. I have tried everything, from restarting the Windows Audio and Windows Audio End Point Builder Services, to reinstalling the Audio drivers, yet it doesn't play any audio. I even connected Bluetooth headphones, in hopes it would play, just in case there was a hardware issue with the actual speakers. But no audio plays there too. I ran the troubleshooter and it said that the Windows audio services aren't r

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.

audio stopped working, windows 10

upgraded to windows 10 by reservation few days ago... compatibility test result was fine... audio stopped working all of a sudden... tried upgrading the driver software in device manager
but in vain... also tried these methods suggested by Microsoft help community... but the audio is still not working, neither speakers nor headphones

Method 1:

I suggest you to run the Playing Audio troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Select View all on the top left corner.
• Click on Playing Audio.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.
• Check if issue persists.

Method 2:

If there no updated drivers available on the computer manufacturer’s website, then try installing it in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. Follow these steps to install the drivers
in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• Download the audio driver from the manufacturer’s website.

• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘Properties’.
• Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done,
  restart the computer and check if the issue persists

 

Audio stops playing when user is switched in Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that while playing audio on Windows Media Player, if you change the user account the audio stops playing.



I would like to inform that in Windows 10 if the computer is locked while audio is played on the computer the audio will continue to play. However, if we switch the user account, the control will be given to the user that is currently logged in and
audio will stop playing as this is by design.



However, if you have any ideas, suggestions or feedback, we do have a place to share the ideas and suggestions. You can use the

Feedback Hub application to share all the ideas, suggestions and feedbacks.
