    No audio when playing video


    I have no audio when playing video. This started with the most recent build to Windows 10, v.1809. All of the sound drivers have been updated (by Microsoft, when they took control of my computer).


    I can get the sound to work by running the audio playback troubleshooter and then rebooting. But I have to do this each time I start the computer cold.


    How do I make whatever changes the troubleshooter is making permanent, so that I don't have to boot up twice each morning?

    :)

    • 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.
