  1. New Windows 10 computer not detecting my speakers


    I set up my new desktop Inspiron 3671 with Windows 10 two days ago. No problems with that. Today I connected my speakers which worked perfectly fine on my old computer (Windows 7), but I get no sound with this new computer. Audio troubleshooter shows nothing. The output device is shown as "Speakers - 2 Realtek Audio". No option to choose another output device. When I connected the speakers it did ask what kind of device I was installing & if I wanted to use Windows Media Player as the default (yes), so I did the recommended settings choice. The drivers update check says I'm up-to-date. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    No Speakers or Headphones detected

    Hi,

    This issue may have been caused by a corrupted Audio driver or defective audio port.

    To better understand this concern please answer the following questions:

    • Are you still able to play music using a built-in speakers?
    • Have you tried using other headphones or external speakers?

    We also suggest that you run audio troubleshooter by following these steps:

    • Type "troubleshooting" on the search box.
    • Select Troubleshooting on the result.
    • Click View all.
    • Choose Playing Audio then follow the instructions.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to post back.

    Speaker, audio device detected leads to simultaneous restart prompt

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We are glad to provide the assistance required to help you resolve the issue.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    • What did you mean when you state "detected a new hardware and updated the system"?
    • Did you plug an external speaker on to your computer and received the above prompt?
    • Do you get sound via your internal speakers when you play an audio file?

    For now, I suggest that you perform Power Drain, and check if you still get the Restart prompt.

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

    Also, if connected to an external speaker, unplug the speaker restart the computer and check.

    Hope this helps
