Windows 10: No Sound in Windows 10

Hello:

I have been struggling with the “No Sound” in Windows 10 issue for about 8 hours and I think it is time I ask for help.

I am not sure when this started, since I don’t turn sound on very often. I am betting is was after a Windows update, but not sure.



I have searched many articles and just haven’t found a solution.

As you can see, I have my playback device set to “BenQ GW2750H” and the other 2 options have red downward arrows.

When I run tests to play sounds, the little volume bar next to “BenQ GW2750H” goes up and down, but the sound never comes through to the speaks in my monitor which is utilizing HDMI.

This same setup worked a few weeks ago. I have deleted all the devices and allowed the system to reinstall. I have run the Windows, Intel and HP troubleshooting programs. Rolled back drivers, etc. But I can’t figure this out.

My specs are:

HP Pavilion Desktop

Windows 10 Pro – 64bit / Version 1803 / OS build 17134.556

Nvidia GeForce

Monitor BenQ GW2750H (NVIDIA High Definition Audio)



Any guidance is greatly appreciated.




:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
