Lost sound - Please Help

Just a day or two ago, I logged on and lost all sound. In any other other apps, the sound works fine. I have reset the sound settings, checked C/Sound, checked C/Music, uninstalled and reinstalled WOW, disabled all addons with Twitch. The only thing that I haven’t done (that might help), is resetting WOW User Interface (as I worry about doing that and I am not not sure how to do it). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

is it only in game sound?

Yes. Only in WOW.

Have you tried pressing Ctrl + S?

It could be a issue with a mod you are using turn them all of and reset

Everything had been working fine. I hadn’t changed a thing, that I’m aware of and it just stopped working. I also forgot to add that I updated Windows 10 software (just in case, no help).

After I did the windows 10 update I had sound issues but it was with the outside app that controls my speaker software

I will have to occasionally rest them

In my case I lose all sound just not wow but it was definitely related to the Windows update

Yes, checked C/sound and C/music over and over.

reset wow interface

I didn’t update Windows until after the problem.

I found this, maybe the same deal:

Try updating your drivers?

Edit: eh nvm, that guy has no sound on his computer at all. maybe something relevant in there still lol

Go to the Game Menu -> System -> Sound. Make sure the game sound output is set to System Default. Once that is done, it should play to whatever sound source Windows uses. Also, make sure the volume sliders are turned up and enable sound is checked.

Thanks! Will try that right now.
