Windows 10: Sound issues

OK - 2 sound issues - the sound icon at lower right no longer functions on left-click, only right-click. I can change the sound via keyboard slider, but this doesn't actually alter the volume. I have noticed the mouse does change the apparent volume (on screen, not actual volume, but only when hovering over the on-screen slider). Why sound would work for one song, then not work for the next song I don't know.

When I go into playback properties and try to "test speaker" it says it's in use by another application, but there is no application using it. Task Manager doesn't show any likely programs and there's no sound playing. I quit Windows Media Player and all that's open is chrome and some windows

I'm seriously getting pissed of by this new Windows. It's like they deliberately removed functionality, or they added new stuff which ****ed things up. How can MS programmers be so bad?

Sound Issues

On my HTC, when I dial Voice Mail or an outside number, the calls connects (rings on the other phone), but I have no sound and cannot hear or talk?

 

Sound Issues

Went back into the system with the directions that were given in this answer. Got the previous version back and my sound is working like it was and should. Might want to check that creators upgrade to see about it. Had problems with the sound when it was
updated and now went back to previous version and it is working fine. Please let me know if and when I can get the upgrade with no problems that is and if I need the upgrade at this time.
