Basic Checks:

• Volume: Double-check the overall volume and individual app volumes. Make sure nothing's muted.
• Connections: Ensure all cables are firmly plugged into the right ports (green for audio output). Disconnect and reconnect for good measure.
• Output Device: Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, select "Playback devices," and choose the correct output (speakers, headphones). Set it as default.

Software Solutions:

• Restart: Sometimes a simple reboot fixes glitches. Give it a go!
• Driver Updates: Outdated or faulty audio drivers can be culprits. Update them via Device Manager or your manufacturer's website.
• Sound Troubleshooter: ️ Windows has a built-in troubleshooter. Search for it in the Start menu and run it for automatic diagnostics and fixes.

Additional Tips:

• Disable Enhancements: 🪄 Right-click your playback device, select Properties, and under Enhancements, check if any are enabled. Try disabling them if present.
• Sound Card Check: If you have a dedicated sound card, check its settings or software for configuration issues.
• Headphone Jack: If using headphones, try a different jack or a different pair of headphones to rule out hardware issues.
