Windows 10: No Sound

My computer has no sound from it?. I can use it to search the web ok and down load programmes but no sound, the task bar shows the speaker with a red cross on it. If i click on the speaker sign and run the test it says No Speakers connected but they are connected, I have tried two different speaker systems to no avail. I have checked on driver updates and it appears to be working. If i go into systems windows sound it is all greyed out and wont let me adjust anything. I have also been into the nvidia control panel audio and it states that it is working correctly. I have also done a fresh installation of

Windows 10 but this did not sort it out. Any ideas would be helpful.

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

 

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.

If the steps does not work. We suggest downloading a fresh copy of the audio driver from Realtek and see if it helps.
