Additional diagnostics and fixes to follow the driver-oriented suggestions from , , and . Those posts cover the obvious driver checks; the items below focus on configuration, system services and hardware isolation so the root cause can be identified without unnecessary reinstalls or third‑party “updaters.”

Start with simple hardware isolation: confirm speakers/headphones are powered and volume controls (speaker, amp and Windows mixer) are up. Try the rear motherboard jack if the front panel jack is used, and plug the same speakers into a phone or another PC to rule out speaker failure. A cheap USB headset or USB sound adapter is a fast way to know if the internal audio device is at fault.

Check the Windows audio stack and system files (run from an elevated command prompt):

sc query Audiosrv
net stop "Windows Audio"
net start "Windows Audio"
sfc /scannow

On Windows 8/10/11 add: 

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

If services restart but still no sound, verify the output device and format: make sure the correct playback device is set as default, disable audio “enhancements” and try changing the sample rate (44.1/48 kHz). If Device Manager shows a generic name or unknown device, capture the Hardware Ids (Device Manager -> Properties -> Details -> Hardware Ids) and download the OEM audio package from the motherboard/laptop vendor rather than using generic driver‑updaters.

Advanced: check BIOS to ensure onboard audio is enabled and confirm front‑panel audio header wiring on desktops. To exclude software entirely, boot a Linux live USB and test audio — if sound works there, the problem is in Windows. If no sound on hardware and Linux also fails, the audio codec or motherboard header is likely faulty.

Cautions: avoid untrusted driver updater utilities; prefer vendor downloads or Windows Update. These steps narrow down whether the issue is wiring, a service/configuration problem, or actual hardware failure.

Hello,

Go into device manager (press start and type device manager) and press enter. Then scroll down to sound, video and game controllers. Press the triangle next to it and something should appear underneath. Right click on the item that has appeared underneath and click properties, then click the driver tab. Post back what it says from the top upto the buttons.

If it says windows provided the driver then the manufacturer may have a specific driver.

- Let us know how it goes.

Some time driver CD doesn't install automatically Sound diver only. In this situation when you restart your PC,Your system automatic give popup for update. Then click automatically installation Process.

After This check My computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager Properly install or not.

Don't install forcefully.otherwise you will have format.
