Windows is an excellent operating system, but sometimes it can behave in unexpected ways. One of the most common problems is loss of sound on your computer. If you suddenly can’t hear anything on your speakers or headphones, don’t panic. Here are some simple steps to fix the problem:

No sound in an application

First, restart your computer. This can solve many problems by eliminating any faults or conflicts in the system.

Check the volume setting of the program you are using. Make sure it is not muted or set too low. In some browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, you can mute individual tabs by right-clicking on them. (The option will say «Unmute Tab» if it is currently muted). You can also adjust the volume of each program in the volume mixer (right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar to open it).

If the problem persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the program. This may repair any damaged or missing files that may affect the sound. Before doing this, be sure to back up all important data and/or write down your settings, as appropriate.

Note: For some programs, especially paid ones, you may need a specific version of the software to use its license. If that is the case, you may have to look for the installation file on the vendor’s website. This also applies if you prefer an earlier version of the program to the current one.
