How to fix no sound issue for games - videos or applications for Windows 10

Do NOT Forget! The best way to fix no sound issue, is to download and install directx from here.

And if still not working, then follow the next step:

Method 1 to fix No Sound

Right click on sound icon from taskbar and select Sounds then select Playback, and there look for green default device and double click on it

Now you have to select Advanced

And change Sample Rate and bit depth from:

24 Bit 192000 Hz Studio Quality to 16 Bit 192000 Hz Studio Quality

Or chage it to lowest settings or highest and test the game!!

Method 2 to fix No Sound

.

This way is harder than all before, but you have to do it!! You have to update sound driver!

1st. You have to known the name of your sound card to know exactly what we have to download right ?

2st. Download the parts detector tool from here and run it, then select Audio and then choose first row and read straight to the High Definition Audio Codec (mine is VIA VT1828S)

If you have the second row ATI/AMD like, just ignore it! If you have other name, maybe because your sound card is dedicated and you have to update both drivers just to be sure!!

Now all you need, is to download and update your sound system, so choose one:

Realtek Sound | Via Vinyls | SoundMax | Creative SoundBlaster | Conexant HD Audio

Method 3. Last Stand

BE SURE that you have directx re-installed and latest sound driver installed. It is EXTREMELY imporant.

1. Now, we suggest to also install all vcredists from here

2. Clean you registry and windows residual files right here

That is all we know! Maybe you can also try to re-install windows or check in BIOS if your sound card is activated.

If nothing works, then buy an PCI Sound card or USB sound card.

Good Luck!
