Check the audio driver

Audio drivers may be the main cause of audio issues in most issues. Check the audio driver on the “ >> Sound, video and game controllers”.

Drivers that are old or corrupted can cause hardware problems. Update your audio driver.

If it fails, try removing the audio driver (it will reinstall automatically). If it still fails, try the generic audio driver that came with Windows.

Make use of the audio troubleshooter

If none of the following methods work, use an audio troubleshooter. Running an audio troubleshooter in “Settings >> System >> Troubleshoot >> Other troubleshooters” may solve your problem automatically.

Set default audio playback device

If you're using USB or HDMI to connect to an audio device, such as headphones or speakers, you might need to set that device as the default audio device.

If you're using an external monitor without built-in speakers, make sure it's not set as your default output device. If it is, there will be no audio. When you set the default output audio device, you can verify this.

Turn off Audio Enhancements

Audio issues may occur when Audio Enhancements are enabled. Disabling it may fix your problem.

You can set it on the “Control Panel >> Sound >> Playback >> Properties >> Advanced”.

Try out different audio formats

Windows 10/11 allows you to change multiple compatible audio formats. Go to “Control Panel >> Sound >> Playback >> Properties >> Advanced” to try out 16 or 24-bit audio formats.
