When system event sounds (login, shutdown, alerts) are missing while application audio still plays, the cause is usually a driver/service routing problem or a wrong default output. 's initial pointers about checking sound settings and drivers are a good start; the checklist below drills into the checks that most often catch this specific symptom.

  • Check core services: run services.msc and confirm the Windows Audio and Plug and Play services are set to Automatic and running. If they fail to start, note the error and reinstall the audio driver.
  • Verify mixer channels: run sndvol32 (volume mixer) and ensure Wave/System Sounds are not muted and sliders are up.
  • Confirm the default output: make the analog speaker/headphone device the default if the card exposes a digital (S/PDIF) output that might be selected by mistake.
  • Eliminate hardware conflicts: if there is both onboard and discrete audio, disable the unused device in BIOS or Device Manager to avoid driver clashes.
  • Reinstall drivers cleanly: uninstall the audio device in Device Manager, reboot, then install the latest vendor audio driver and motherboard chipset driver.
  • Check system event files: ensure the event .wav files exist and are intact in C:\Windows\Media, and use the Playback device properties “Test” button to verify the system can play a test sound.
  • Examine logs: look in Event Viewer (System/Application) for audio-related errors at the times you expect the event sounds to play.

Explanation: media players often use different APIs or driver paths than the system event/wave mapper, so a misrouted output or driver mismatch can leave media playback working while event sounds are silent. The checklist above resolves that in most cases.

Go to control panel > sounds and audio, and then sounds tab, make sure you select a sound scheme from the drop down list.

Then see in device manager if there are any yellow exclamation marks, and update or install those drivers.
