    Hey guys, there's some problem I'm having here. After I was doing a system restore and was getting the sound back, it appears something went wrong. I was watching a video and I heard no sound at all. I could hear nothing from a media player or a sound program editor, like Audacity. So yeah, I open up Volume Mixer and Device shows my Headphones/Speaker but looking at Applications, despite having some apps open, the Applications area is blank and I don't know how to even include the System Sounds back. Even updating the Sound Driver at Device Manager didn't work, can't find sound setting in Control Panel. I just don't know how else to get the sound back, which should include all the applications. The computer I'm using is an HP Laptop and the model is 15-bs212wm. So yeah, any assistance can be most appreciated, for I really want my sound back without any technician purposes.

    :)

    No sound on computer -- Volume Mixer Applications section is blank

    No sound on computer -- Volume Mixer shows Device: Speakers/Headphones but the Applications section is blank.

    Have gone through ALL the "fixes" with HP and with Microsoft, still no sound.

    I am a senior with limited application knowledge, so I need a fix in simple language.

    Volume Mixer not showing muted app

    The application was muted on Windows 10 with November update. Now I am using Anniversary update, on build 14393.10

    The initial step did not help make Banished show up in the Volume Mixer, nor did the article.

    Sound sources not showing up in volume mixer / app volume controls setting main volume

    Hi,

    I have noticed strange sound issues with Windows 10 and entries in the volume mixer.

    For example, if I use the netflix app, there is no source added to the volume mixer for it. Instead, the Netflix app's volume control merely controls the level of the main sound device, so that if I turn the volume of netflix down, ALL sounds on the computer
    get attenuated as well. Definitely not acceptable.

    Using Edge to run sites like Netflix that produce sound results in the same situation: Edge is not showing up in the volume mixer, and in-web-page-app volume controls either control the main sound device volume or their own sound, but never show up in the
    volume mixer.

    Apps like Groove Music, however, while they don't show entries in the volume mixer, at least have their own volume control separate from that for the main sound device.

    What am I missing? I haven't changed any sound settings other than sometimes switching the source from speakers to headphones and back.

    Whether the main playback device is set to "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" or not has NO effect on this situation.

    Thanks!
