Windows 10: Sound Literally died

So I was just playing some games on my computer, then I paused it for 1 minute to go get something. I come back and my sound is completely dead, I can't hear anything. II restart my pc and I can just barely hear anything. All my sound settings are the same, but I can barely hear anything. I was playing on a controller if that helps, but my output and input are fine. My headphones are fine I just tested them. I can only get my volume to work if I turn everything at 100 and my headphone volume at max, and that doesn't even get as loud as it previously was. Any help is greatly appreciated. Edit: All I did was restart one more time and now I cannot hear any desktop volume. (Such as if i plug a usb drive in, or if I change my volume it's just silent. )

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.

 

Sound problem

Hi,

We need to investigate further so that we can identify the cause of the issue. We suggest running the Troubleshooter and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

• Type and select Troubleshooting on the Search bar/Cortana.
• Click Hardware and Sound.
• Select Playing Audio under Sound.
• Follow the steps that will be provided.

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

Looking forward to your response.
