Hello

·         If it works well before? If so, remember to do recent changes on the computer before this problem?

·         What operating system is installed on your computer?

I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1:

Open audio store and check if the problem occurs, do in the link below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-playing-audio-Troubleshooter

Method 2:

Check if the default audio device is properly defined. Follow these steps:

a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.

b. click the read tab make sure that the correct default audio device is selected. (For most users, the default audio device is pregnant.)

c. If your default device is not set to the right audio device, on the read tab, select the appropriate device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, click OK.

d. on the read tab, select the playback device, click set upand make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

If the sound settings are set correctly and that your speakers are already set as default device, go to "Check if an audio driver is installed" now.

e. Select the audio device you want as audio device by default, and then click set as default.

f. click OK to save your settings.

For your reference, follow the steps described in the following link:

  • Can't hear sound in Windows 8

    Hello

    I have Windows 8 and sometimes I can hear the audio on movies and videos, but other times I can't.  I uninstalled the driver seems to automatically reinstall itself, and I checked to see that it is up-to-date. What is so strange, is that I will restart the computer after I can't get audio, then I'll get it back, and then once I stop the video for a little, it won't, until, in other words, I do it all automatic uninstall reinstall again, then restart.

    Is there anything else I can do?   All my videos and movies are played on office, not for apps starting tiles.

    Thank you

    You can try the following methods and check.

    Method 1:

    Check if your headphones are configured to be used as a Communication device by default instead of the default device, or if the two devices are configured by default. If so, that the fault of headphones, so that Windows will only use when they are connected.

    Check volume settings.

    (a) right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, then select volume control options.

    (b) click a checkbox on "all devices evolving sound.

    (c) make sure that you have "Default uncontrolled communication device".

  • Can't hear sound on my Equium A100-027

    I don't hear sound on my laptop, when I got the sound wasn't very strong but now it is almost impossible to hear even if I put it on LOUD!
    The laptop feels there is nothing wrong and I'm really not sure what to do next.
    Can anyone suggest something to help?

    Hi Fiona

    Very mysterious. What to say, I think you need to connect the headphones to the computer and check if you hear anything through the headphones plugged in.

    > The laptop considers that there is nothing wrong
    According to this statement, I assume that you have enabled the Device Manager if the sound card and driver have been installed correctly.
    If you didn t check this, please do so immediately!

    Finally and above all the sound settings and all the volume controls to be checked in the "Control Panel"-> "sound and audio devices".

    Please, put all settings to a higher level and do not forget that the silence was not enabled!

    Good luck

  • Can't balance sound in Windows 7

    _ Microsoft.  All audio devices from stereo was invented has a right/left balance on the front panel.  My hearing is to give to my left ear and what are you doing in Windows 7?  You hide the sound balance and do not put it in the accessibility features.   To adjust the balance I have to open the Panel configuration, hardware open and sound, manage audio devices, click the Read tab, click Properties, click levels, click balance and finally to adjust it.  It's 8 steps to do something which took a façade since stereo button control was invented.  Microsoft, how stupid can you get!

    Hi HoppingBuffalo,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    You try to balance the sound every time that you restart the computer?
     
    This is normal there is no settings button front for this control. You can try to adjust the sound balance by right-clicking the speaker icon on the right side of the monitor screen and select playback devices.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9A - can't hear sound

    Hi guys,.
    I just formatted my laptop using my restore disk and the sound does not come out the helmet.
    I checked the speaker settings to use "portable stereo speakers" but no sound comes out. The operating system is Windows XP Pro.

    Thank you, any help appreciated in advance.

    Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?

    Spend you with the FN + ESC keys mute and normal. Are you sure it's nothing set to mute?
    If you have a Realtek Audio chip in the control panel is the Manager Realtek HD sound effects application. Here, you can also define mute or other sound options.

    Last but not least, you can also do an update of your sound driver.
    Find you it on the Toshiba site.

    Hello

    What you can do in this case, is first to check what type of CODEC that is in your video. You can do this by going to your computer and open the video with VLC. During video playback, pause. Go to the menu bar and select 'Tools', then select 'CODEC INFORMATION '.

    Once in this window, please select the 'Codec' tab and read the part that says: part 1. As you can see, you will be able to identify the type of CODEC.

    Once you have this information visit the manufacturer's Web site and look for the codec in the table. If you do not, it means that the Oppo 93 does not support these files audio codec.

    Here is the link to the manufacturer's information Web site: https://www.oppodigital.com/KnowledgeBase.aspx?ProdID=BDP-93
