How to Fix Sound Problems in Windows 10

When you install a new operating system or windows you might face audio problems which will frustrate you. Don’t worry in this article I am going to cover how to fix sound problems in windows 10. In Windows you can quickly test the speakers by clicking the volume notification. Use the gizmo to set overall system volume, but keep in mind that the speakers or your headphones may have additional volume controls.

Conclusion

If new driver found windows will download and install in automatically and that may fix the issue, otherwise if the latest software was installed, then the software isn’t the issue and you may be having an audio hardware problem.

On some of my computers, I have experienced endless problems with a microphone not working, the hardware doesn’t recognize the microphone’s connection, rather than use the audio jack. The solution I found is to get a USB microphone, or USB headset, these types of peripherals may not have the same audio problems as a traditional microphone, you will however, need to remember to select the USB microphone, when you configure various recording or chat programs or an online game. Locate the settings within the program and choose the USB microphone as the recording method.
