Sound is one of the main issues in Windows 10 since thanks to it we can listen to our songs, watch movies, participate in meetings and in general everything related to alarms in Windows and other sounds that may originate in the system..

 

 

For multiple reasons, it is possible that the PC does not emit any sound, naturally the first thing to do is to check that the audio output device is correctly connected to both the power and the PC, but if nothing sounds, you can follow the advice that TechnoWikis has prepared in this walkthrough.

 

Note: Check levels
The first thing we must do is basic, but it may be the cause of not hearing anything and two things can happen. First that the audio icon is in silent mode (mute) or that the volume levels are null or extremely low, to check this we click on the volume icon in the taskbar and there we adjust the slider bar to define the volume :

Check that the microphone is not muted.
