I have no sound on media players no matter what I try to do. No I don't have mute on and no I don't have my audio turned down. I know that it's just the media players as else where the sounds are playing. Can you help me? I am using Windows Media 10 and Media Player Classic and both of them don't work.

I have the same problem from time to time. I put it down to Windows interfacing with the sound card. Just reboot your computer and it goes away.

It doesn't it's been like this for 3 days now.

First of all, check this problem isn't that your speakers are broken in some way by using them on a TV or just plug some headphones into your computer, if they work, you know it's the speakers. If none of that works;

Look up your soundcard, you can get the model number from using this software.
Then look up the drivers, download them and install them. Then reboot your computer.

No, please read my post before trying to help me. The sound only doesn't work on Media Players.

Why would my other sounds work if my sound card needed upated drivers?

different codecs and running files

Windows say that all my drivers are updated and it can't find any new versions of the drivers. The sound still does not work. I find that goldwave can play aduio no trouble though.

Still try finding reinstalling the drivers. Reinstalling has a habit of fixing these kinds of problems cleanly.

If you are still reluctant to do that you could try this, your computer may automatically make check-points which allow this, if not it won't work;

Start > Help & Support > Undo Changes to your computer using system restore > Restore my computer to an earlier time > And pick a date before the problem started and go from there.
I don't like the second option, because it will undo setting changes for the last few days. But your personal documents will remain safe.

I'd try reinstalling sound card drivers before resorting to this

I decided to use a system restore since I hadn't made any harsh changes to my pc. It worked and my audio is now fully working. Thank you Anubis and Scone for your help I appreciate it.

S'alrite glad you worked it out without much trouble
Edit: Although Anubis was the one that really helped

Glad I could help

well as i'm a dj i work with pro soundcards and stuff, i guess i would got out if i got some time on your computer. Anyway  audio works with a driver, windows, asio, kernel, whatever, you just decide which one you like te most. Make sure you got one of these, in circumstances these can be removed accidently... Also, you have much more faders than just those of your windows mixer that opens with a click on the litte speaker. Rightclick and select properties may open a new window, and you'll get to new faders defenately. Some programs mute sound automaticly, if you don't shut off right or the program crashes you'll stick with it... big chance it was just a setting..

But hey you got out, system restored are handy! but you can keep it in mind.
