Windows 10: When adjusting sound volume, clicking the slider at the same position does not play the...

I just updated to a newer version of Windows 11, and when I adjust sound volume, clicking the slider at the same position does not play the test tone, however, when i increase or decrease volume, it plays the test tone perfectly.How to solve it?

"Ding" sound (e.g. from adjusting volume) no longer plays

When adjusting volume on Windows, the system will play a "ding" sound to help you gauge the current volume. That sound no longer plays on my machine.

What I've done:

• Tried various output devices (speakers, headerphones, monitor speakers, etc.)
• Updated mobo and sound card drivers
• Played the .wav files (C:\Windows\media) in a media player to ensure the files are not corrupted

Methods that SHOULD play the sound but don't:

• Adjust volume
• {Windows_key} (search) --> type "sound" --> {Enter} --> "Sounds" tab --> Scroll to "Default Beep" --> click "Test"
• Running some batch file that echoes 0x007
• `echo ^G`

Thanks for your time.

 

Volume slider stops playing the system sound when I change it

So I think Windows has always done this, but if you change the system sounds, then the volume slider stops playing a sound when you adjust the volume. I can't seem to find any concrete answers as to why or how that can be changed without changing the sound back to default, but maybe I just don't know how to search for it. Is there a way to make the slider play a sound when adjusting the volume, even if you've changed the system sound for it?

For reference, I'm running Windows 10, I don't know if 11 has changed this or not.

Hi Hank,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

• 
  Are you able to use Volume slider on the taskbar?

  Do you get any error message?
  
• 
  Are you able to see sound icon on the taskbar?
  

I suggest you to hoover your mouse on the right side of the taskbar and click on the sound icon and try to use volume slider and check if it that works.

Follow the steps below and check.

• 
  Discover the empty slot on the
  Taskbar and Right click.
  
• 
  Click on Properties.
  
• 
  Under Taskbar tab and Notification area
  click on Custom.
  
• 
  Tap on Select which icons appears on the taskbar.

  Turn on Volume option.
