    no sound, red X on sound icon


    I wanted to watch a video on my PC but there was no sound with a red circle with “X” on sound icon. I couldn’t turn the sound on. Troubleshooting couldn’t detect a problem.

    Issues with sound on PC, red X on sound icon on taskbar

    Hello Kaitlyn,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    The red X on the sound icons indicates that the drivers are missing.
    Let’s try a few steps to fix the issue. Refer the article

    Hope it helps.

    no sound, red X on sound icon

    Unable to turn on the sound, red cross next to sound icon

    1. Which version of Windows are you running?

    2. Which version of Internet Explorer or other browser?

    3. Does "sound icon" refer to the sound icon on the Windows Taskbar?
