No sound and unable to control volume on Windows 10.

Hi Minas,



The above issue might occur due to the following reasons:

• 
  Corrupted/missing system files & folders.
  
• 
  Sound drivers non-updated or incompatible.
  
• 
  Sound settings disabled on the PC.
  

Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• 
  Did you check if sound settings are disabled on the PC?
  
• 
  Did you try updating the sound drivers?
  

Due to some of the third party applications installed sound settings will be disabled on the PC. Check if the settings are set appropriately by following the steps below:

• 
  Right click on the volume icon, located at the bottom right corner of the PC and select
  Playback devices from the context menu.
  
• 
  Click on the device located in the window and click on
  Properties.
  
• 
  Click on Levels tab from the window and check if the volume icon is disabled.
  
• 
  If yes, click on the icon to enable the settings and check if the changes are effective.
  

If the issue persists, update the audio drivers by following the steps from the link below and check if the issue is resolved.

• 
  Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Device manager from the context menu.
  
• 
  Expand Sound, video and game controller option and check if the speaker drivers are installed.
  
• 
  If yes, right click on the driver and select
  Update this software from the context menu.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions and wait till the drivers are updated.
  
• 
  After the update is complete, close the window and check if the changes are effective.
  
• 
  If the issue persists, download and install the latest and most compatible sound drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check if the changes are effective.
