Windows 10: Windows 10 Not Playing System Sounds. All Other Sounds Are Okay.

I've been using this computer for over a year and now all of the sudden I can't play system sounds.

I can hear other sounds on my games and software, but not the system sounds like when an error pops up.

When I open Volume Mixer, I click on the volume bar on "System Sounds" on the "Applications" section, nothing plays, but everything else plays fine.

I even tried changing the Sounds to Windows Default in the Sounds settings as well as setting System Sounds to full blast, but they still don't play.

When I created a new account and tested the system sounds, there, the system sounds played just fine, so this probably isn't a problem with my drivers.

I tried Microsoft's troubleshooting wizard and it doesn't work at all.

I really need to find a fix for this and I hope that you can help me. If you have a fix for this, please reply.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

• Right click on sound icon.
• Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.
