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.

    My Laptop just went mute. I tried playing music, then it showed a message saying "Can't play. Another program is controlling your sound at the moment. To listen here, close that program and try again." I don't know which program. I tried switching it off and on again, still not working. I even tried using 'Troubleshoot sound problem' - still not working. I am currently using Windows 10.
