December 7

[edit]

no sound on windows 10

Have our Lords and Master at Microsoft decreed that we can no longer audio?

My windows 10 machine suddenly has no sound. When I try to turn up the volume, a window opens that says "We're here to help."

Does any rational person not suspect fraud? Are they trying to take me captive to sell me on an auction block to a plantation owner? Is it possible to run the Windows operating system without assenting to that? ~2025-37205-52 (talk) 05:24, 7 December 2025 (UTC)reply

@~2025-37205-52 This is nothing to do with Microsoft. The sound on Wikipedia works fine for me. I suggest you check your connections and then try restarting your computer. Have you tried plugging in an external speaker? Failing that, take it to a repair shop. Shantavira|feed me 11:42, 7 December 2025 (UTC)reply
Ask yourself, what changed? I normally don't bother with the Google seach assistant, but if you stick this query in the search box: Windows 10 no volume, a window opens that says "We're here to help." a number of apparently helpful suggestions appear. Rather than to-ing and fro-ing trying to work out just what your system/device is and exactly what the symptoms are, why not try those and come back with some more information? My favourite trick is to try Windows Restore to a time before the problem occurred. Best of luck, MinorProphet (talk) 10:05, 10 December 2025 (UTC)reply
