Upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 and suddenly your sound went mute? You're not alone! Many users are reporting audio problems after the update, ranging from complete silence to distorted sound.
So, what can you do? First, **check your volume levels**. Seems obvious, but ensure nothing is accidentally muted. Next, **update your audio drivers**. Outdated drivers are often the culprit. Visit your device manufacturer's website (e.g., Realtek, Creative) and download the latest drivers for your specific sound card.
If that doesn't work, try the **Windows troubleshooter**. Go to Settings > System > Sound > Troubleshoot. Let Windows diagnose and potentially fix the problem automatically. You can also try **rolling back your audio driver** to the previous version through Device Manager. Finally, ensure your **audio device is enabled and set as the default playback device** in Sound settings.
Experiencing audio issues can be frustrating, but with these steps, you'll hopefully be back to enjoying your tunes (or important system sounds!) in no time. Good luck!
