    Weird sound problem in Windows 10 System sounds not playing


    I have a strange problem in W10 .. Fall Creators Update... but it is NOT no sound... just many system sounds do not play and will not play out of the Control Panel sound app sound test. The .wav files all play if I go to /Windows/media and select them, but will not from the sound test.. and many don't play when expected to either..
    Understand that in this case I have already gone through the process of check of hardware, drivers etc. and sound is fine on playback on this computer.. will play anything in the way of files as expected.. audio, Vid with audio... just not doing system sounds.
    I have processed a Dism check, sfc, and various troubleshooters, and ensured audio service is running as expected... so as I said.. a weird problem... and yes, I have checked to ensure the .wav files are selected in the Sounds app..... Any ideas???

    :)

    Distorted system sounds only over the speakers

    I ran the troubleshooter , which promptly reinstalled the audio driver . even the sound which was played in the audio troubleshooter was perfectly fine .

    and it stayed that way after the troubleshooter reinstalled the driver.

    it is only the system sounds which are coming out distorted .

    I think I may have corrupt system sound files on my windows , as I opened "change system sounds" from the start menu and played a couple of the sounds there which all came out distorted. but the weird thing is that through my headphones they seem fine and
    clear .

    update windows 10- sound problems

    Hi, I read that you all have problems with your sound system after upgrading windows 10. My problem is that I tried to listen music on youtube and it sounds so weird, a low quality sound. I checked the quality of the video, there was no problem with that-1080p.
    what's wrong? Weird sound problem in Windows 10 System sounds not playing :(

    Weird sound problem in Windows 10 System sounds not playing

    Last time I dealt with this it was this:
    System Sounds not working? Solved - Windows 10 Forums

    ...I searched the forum for 'system sounds'.

    Worth checking.. however you say 'many system sounds' - so do any play normally at any time?

    It's not a question of the wav association.
