    Audio Driver is fine, but no sound


    Hello,

    I ran into a problem today. When I booted up my PC, the speaker logo at the bottom of the screen says that the Audio Service is not running, so I checked by opening services.msc and it was indeed disabled (though I had no idea how this could happen). Then, I enabled it and restarted my PC. It's finally enabled, but there's no sound at all. I have tried to re-install the driver, but it still did not work. I also tried to test it, but it came out with an error message "Failed to play test tone." Could someone please tell me how to resolve this problem?

    Thank you.

    P.S. I checked the driver, and it seems fine.

    Some computers need an audio codec.

    Thank you for the advice! The problem has been resolved. I decided to upgrade my Windows 10 to the latest build, and now it's fine. It appears that the upgrade solved the problem.
