If your computer is having problems playing sound, try using the Playing Audio troubleshooter to fix the problem. It checks for common problems with your volume settings, your sound card or driver, and your speakers or headphones.

To open the Playing Audio troubleshooter:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.

2. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting.

3. Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot audio playback.

4. Follow the instructions in the troubleshooter.

Hi

This happened suddenly to my laptop, it was working fine and then the sound shut down.

I now have a little white/red cross on the sound display button on the bottom right of the screen.

I tried doing all the steps you detailed above, but still nothing.

Any other way of recovering sound?

(I'm on sick leave, desperately trying to watch Netflix, this is some kind of emergency )
