Windows 10: People can't hear me, but can hear a video i play

The problem is exactly as described above, my mic is on and the people in the meeting can not hear me but they can hear the song i am listening to. I tried turning of stereo mix, updated windows a dozen of times, nothing fixed it.

Cannot hear Ring Tones 3110C

Thanks jimmyireland. I followed your three suggestions.

• freed up memory
• carried out the factory reset
• ugraded software.

I still cannot hear the loudspeaker. I tried

• playing a media file
• calling the phone and selected loudspeaker

Still nothing. If it was not for hearing the keypad tones I would say the speaker was broken.



Were your suggestions a standard response to faults or have you heard of my speaker problem before?

Can't hear voice chat and video calls and people can't hear me

my pc specs

• Windows 10 pro 64 bit w/update KB4023057
• Intel Core i7-3770K
• 32gb DDR3 RAM
• GeForce gtx 970
• Asus Z77 sabertooth

So when I go to sound under Control panel everything shows up fine in playback and both microphones show up (my headset and webcam) and even when I enable playback I can hear myself just fine so I know its not hardware. But whenever i enter a chat like in
skype, teamspeak, discord, or any game, Ican't hear anything and people can't hear me. I've double checked and i have the most current drivers and I have also re-installed the drivers from scratch with no change. i've had this issue for a few months and now
my job heavily relies on skype so i need this fixed.
