How to Fix Sound?

Set Your Audio Device As The Default Device

If you’re connecting to an audio device using USB or HDMI, you might need to set that device as the default device.

  1. In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, then select it from the results.
  2. Select Hardware and Sound from the Control Panel, and then select Sound.
  3. On the Playback tab, right-click the listing for your audio device, select Set as Default Device, and then select OK.

Turn off Enhancements

Sometimes having audio enhancements on can result in audio issues. Disabling them may resolve your issue. 

  1. In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, then select it from the results.
  2. Select Hardware and Sound from the Control Panel, and then select Sound.
  3. On the Playback tab, right-click the Default Device, and then select Properties.
  4. On the Enhancements tab, select either the Disable all enhancements or the Disable all sound effects check box (depending on which option you see), select OK, and try to play your audio device.
  5.  If that doesn’t work, on the Playback tab, select another default device (if you have one), select either the Disable all enhancements or the Disable all sound effects check box (depending on which option you see), select OK, and try to play audio again. Do this for each default device.

Update Audio

Hardware problems can be caused by outdated or malfunctioning drivers. Make sure your audio driver is up to date and update it if needed. If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling the audio driver (it will reinstall automatically). If that doesn’t work, try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows. If you’re having audio issues after installing updates, try rolling back your audio driver.

To update your audio driver automatically:

  1. In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, then select it from the results.
  2. Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it.
  3. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, such as headphones or speakers, select Update driver, then select Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the instructions to complete the update.

Check Jaks, Cables

  1. Check your speaker and headphone connections for loose cords or cables. Make sure all cords and cables are plugged in.
  2. If you have multiple 5mm jacks to plug into, especially on a surround sound system, make sure all cords and cables are plugged into the correct jack. 
    • If it’s not clear which jack goes with which cord, consult your hardware manufacturer, or try the most obvious outputs one at a time and see if they work.
  3.  Make sure the power is turned on and check the volume level.
  4. Make sure the mute setting is not turned on, and try turning up all the volume controls.
    • Remember some speakers and apps have their own volume controls. Be sure to check them all.
  5. Try connecting your speaker and headphones to a different USB port.
  6. It’s possible that your speakers won’t work when your headphones are plugged in. Unplug your headphones and see if that helps. 

Note: Some systems use a green jack for output and pink for mic input and others will be labeled “headphone” or “microphone.”

If your cables and volume are OK, see the next sections for additional troubleshooting.
