Did you either update or re-install the audio drivers?

Do you mean you have sound but that the os is just not making any system sounds like dings etc?

When I got to windows 10 desktop it installed Realtek HD audio manager. How can I reinstall them? Yes, only system sounds are not working.

Have you ever used a Custom sound to replace the Windows default sounds? The system sounds are related to the Desktop background.

I suppose when you say they are not muted, the System Sounds volume is equal to the Speaker volume in the Volume Mixer?

Ok, So I just made a new account on the computer and the system sounds are working. I went back to my account and they are still broken. Has to be a way to fix this.

Nope, no custom sounds.

Try this driver download from Realtek. If it doesn't work try rolling back the drivers

Did not work. No rollback options. I will just make another user or do a clean install.

• Press WinKey + i
• In the "Find a setting" box type sound, select sound (With speaker icon)
• Make sure the proper audio device is set to Default Device

If you have multiple "Speakers" device try changing the default by right clicking and select "Set to Default"

Yeah, I have been trying for hours. I made a new account. The sounds are working there. I tried to export the registry and add it to my account. Still didn't work. Very lame.
