No Sound

[Feck Studios]

Hey. First time posting. Having a lot of issues with Windows 10 so you may be seeing me here quite a bit haha.

Ok/ so basically there's no sound from onboard audio.

All routing seems right, all volumes are up but nothing. It was working ages ago but don't use it that much until now when I need it.

ive followed all types of the usual steps that microsoft and youtbe have said but I'm at my wits end. If anyone has ANY advice please let me know.

Press the Windows and "R" keys simultaneously, type or paste "msdt /id AudioPlaybackDiagnostic" into the "Open" box and click "OK".

Only time I've had the sound fail showed "No device found" [or words to that effect] on the icon in the Notification Area, Taskbar Settings on a Notebook with Win10 upgraded to Win11. Booted a Linux Mint LiveUSB and still no sound. Turned out to be the onboard adapter failed, got a new motherboard under warranty, no issue since.

Everything seems to be working as in connections etc, even got traltek audio manager working now, but can't play test tones in control panel and still no wound metering or playing.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I downloaded the latest tealtek drivers and nothing.

In volum mixer there are no apps listed next to the main volume slider

You might try restoring an older audio driver. Find the audio device in Device Manager, right-click it, select "Update Driver", then click "Browse my computer for drivers", then "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer". If more than one driver is listed, pick one that isn't highlighted and click "Next". You may have to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

It's onboard audio and it shouldn't be this hard

The only things that come to me is the type of keyboard involved, Notebook or a multi-media keyboard on a Desktop which have volume control keys which can mute the speakers. The Notification Area has a speaker icon that should show whether muted or not and on some computers whether speakers are even plugged in.

Hey.

Desktop/ crappy cheap logitech jobby.

Dunno if any of these shots help.

Since the last image shows No speakers plugged in, my diagnostic process would be to disconnect any/all other audio/sound devices and try the default of having speakers plugged to check if sound works. If it does then the issue would lie with one of the other devices. I keep a couple multi-media keyboards on hand from Dell and Microsoft with the sound control keys for against the need for quick replacement.

 

[Feck Studios]

I don't have any speakers plugged in as it's the s/pdif I need to use.

Sorry about that, having come from building computers back in '94 in a shop [a week after retiring] I just find that diagnosing problems works by getting to the basics to make sure something works then add in devices or features as desired or needed.

Nothing I'm doing informing. This is beyond frustrating at this point.

ANT other help will be very much appreciated.
