Windows 10: Windows is detecting audio but not producing any sound

After connecting a bluetooth speaker to my pc my headphones suddenly stopped working. When I go to playback devices its shows the green audio levels going up and down when sound is playing but I can't hear anything through my headphones. I've checked my drivers and reinstalled them, ive tried every single fix out there and nothing works. I tried using my headphones on a different pc and they work fine so I know its not a hardware issue.

HDMI device detected Windows 10 producing sound but no sound on TV

Hello,
I've recently fresh-installed Windows 10 Home on my Alienware 15 laptop. I've had it working with an external TV connected through HDMI. before the fresh install. In short, hardware wise nothing should be wrong. Cable, the TV and HDMI jack were working just fine a few days ago.

Since the fresh install, I've got many things to work properly except the sound through the HDMI. I did re-install and rolled back the audio driver many times but still no success. Everything else is up to date and I am out of ideas.





Windows 10 is producing sound fine, I can hear it fine through the headphones when I set the headphones as default devices but when I switch to the HDMI/TV as the default and output device, no sound comes out.

I would appreciate any help. I did try to google my issues but pretty much every suggestions I came across didn't work.

It got solved with a freakish unrelated patch. I installed On screen display application (https://www.dell.com/support/home/en...driverid=41ttf) for my laptop.

This is the strangest solution I've seen yet.

Sorry, nevermind. it did not get resolved. The sound sometimes works but sometimes doesn't. I have no idea what's going on!

Just to fill my curiosity, I tried thunderbolt, same result. However the TV sound works fine with other computers.

I found a "fix", I am testing whether it works consistently or not. It's a very weird sequence:

1. Open the "Sound" option.
2. Get to "Playback" tab.
3. Go to properties of the TV connected through HDMI.
4. Go to Advaced tab.
5. Restore Defaults then apply.
6. Change the default format to 16bit, 44.1kHz then test.
7. Change the default format to 16bit, 32kHz then test.
8. TV miraculously makes sound. Hit apply and close all options.

So far this survived one reboot. I will consider this solved if it survives more than 10 without me having to go through this again.

This is so strange, what could cause this?

Playing with input frequency is not a permanent solution, it stops producing sound while booted.
