    Windows 10 System sound getting muted by itself.


    There are many similar posts about this; but none of those did help at all with the issue.I sometimes switch between different sound outputs, and when I do that the system's audio sets itself to muted. But without doing it it still randomly happens.It never happens to any other program and if possible, it would be nice to fix it.What I know is that:- not driver error- not because I don't have an update- not hardware error

    Windows 10 Volume Mixer fails to keep System Sounds muted over Remote Desktop Connection

    The problem:

    after having muted the System Sounds on the remote desktop machine, it shall unmute itself after several seconds. This pattern is persistent.

    The physical setting:

    I use my laptop at work, and use Remote Desktop Connection to access my desktop machine left in my apartment.

    The software setting:

    I have enabled Remote audio through the Remote Desktop Connection, and chose Remote audio playback --> Play on this computer. Thus, I get audio streaming on my laptop at work.

    My attempt:

    I have tried to find a way to mute System Volumes through a shortcut, and the following pages appears to be helpful:

    1. HowToGeek suggested to create a shortcut with the following executable command:

      “C:\Path\To\nircmd.exe” mutesysvolume 2
    2. The same source also points me to the shortcut for opening the Volume Mixer. %SystemRoot%\System32\SndVol.exe. Yet, I failed to find a stable way to mute System Sounds through AutoHotKey.

    The problem for the suggested approach is that, on Windows 10, nircmd.exe no longer take the option "mutesysvolume 2" as designed. Instead of toggling the System Volumes, it is toggling the Device Volume. This is different from what the specs have suggested: NirCmd - Windows command line tool

    Windows 10 System Sound is on mute but it still plays

    I keep my system sounds mute so I don't get disturbed. Since last update, even though my volume mixer System Sounds are set to mute (and set to 0), every time I adjust the volume, I hear the System Sound chime.

    When I open Settings>Sound>Advanced Sound Options, it shows System Sounds muted. While that window is open, it stays muted. As soon as I close it and try to adjust volume, system sounds reappear.

    I updated the driver manually again and restarted, no change. Any help is appreciated!

    Hi David,

    I suggest you to run the Audio troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Fix sound problems in Windows 10

    If the issue persists, then try to uninstall and re-install the audio driver.

    • Press Windows Logo Key+X. Click On
      Device Manager.
    • In the list of hardware categories, look for the device that you want to update, and then
      right-click on it to Uninstall.
    • Follow onscreen instructions to uninstall it.
    • To re-install, either you can restart the system or install the driver from the manufacturer’s website
      (recommended as they will have updated drivers).
    For reference:

    Try all the steps provided in the link below and check if it helps.
