I have no sound on my computer how do i fix it

Dear Sherry,

You've reported that your computer has no sound, and you've already attempted several troubleshooting steps including rebooting and updating.

Here are Recommended Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Check Audio Output Device Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Open Sound Settings" Under "Output", make sure the correct device (e.g., speakers or headphones) is selected
2. Run the Audio Troubleshooter Go to Settings > System > Sound Scroll down and click "Troubleshoot" under the Output section
3. Verify Device Manager Press Windows + X and select Device Manager Expand "Sound, video and game controllers" Right-click your audio device and choose "Update driver" If needed, uninstall the device and restart your computer to reinstall it automatically
4. Check for Muted or Disabled Audio Ensure your volume is turned up and not muted If you're using external speakers or headphones, verify they are properly connected and powered on
5. Restore System Settings (Optional)
   • If the issue started recently, consider using System Restore to revert to a point when sound was working: Go to Control Panel > Recovery > Open System Restore
