    Listen to this device doesnt work


    Whenever I use listen to this device, no sound plays, I have tried terminating and restarting windows audio both through services and through the console, does anyone know a way to fix this?

    :)

    "Listen to this device" not working after Windows 10 Update

    The suggested fix doesn't address the problem. Stopping audiosrv turns off audio, and starting the service turns it on again. "Listen to this device" worked on Windows 7, ,does not work on Windows 10.

    USB audio interface Line In Properties - Listen to This Device stopped working after 21H1 update

    I followed your instructions step-by-step twice and it's a no go. My USB interface works fine and I can listen through its headphone jack, but still won't work through the "Listen to this device" option. This is the first time I've not been able to get this to work. I just now tried using a 2nd USB interface in place of my Novation Audiohub 2x4 and it won't play either through the "Listen to this device" option. So it's not my interfaces, but some odd pass through glitch?? I'm not new to computers and can usually figure these oddities out, but I'm stumped.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
