    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.

    :)

    That for sure is an interesting fix and glad you found it in your research.

    I'm a bit taken aback as you have string values in your "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" without having the branch expanded.

    As you can see, I don't have any string values other than "default" when a main branch is highlighted:

    So in concluding, I wonder why you have additional string values in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" when that branch is highlighted - is that how many users you have on that computer?

    Something was definitely having fun in your registry and I wonder if those additional string values have something to do with it?

    Welcome to TenForums!

    Something I've done before and quite silly to overlook, but did you look in the account where the system sounds aren't playing and make sure that the toggle isn't on for the muted position - you click the speaker icon to toggle it back and forth and in my photo, it is showing the muted symbol.
