Sometimes active laptop users face that the gadget suddenly refuses to reproduce the sound. The reasons for such behavior of the device may be somewhat, and they are all fully corrected.
1
Start "Diagnostics" from the elementary - from the volume level. If it is on the zero mark, simply increase its slider.

Another probable cause of the lack of sound is disconnected speakers. You can check this by clicking the right mouse button on the volume icon on the taskbar and selecting the "sounds" subsection. In it we need "playback", where the status of reproducing devices is displayed. In our case - speakers. If there is an arrow icon near them, right-click on the speakers and select "Enable" in the pop-up window. If the device is not displayed at all in the window, again, via the right mouse button, select "Show disabled devices".

You can check the speakers and in a simple way by connecting the column or headphones to the laptop. And if the external devices reproduce the sound, it means that the reason may be in the internal speakers of the gadget.

A laptop can "on" a laptop in the event that the sound device is disabled in the Device Manager. To check this through the control panel, go to the "Equipment and Sound" section. In it, select "Device Manager". And if in subparagraph "sound, video and gaming devices" there is a shooter, then the device needs to use through the right mouse button.

If as a result of manipulations on paragraph 4, you will see not an arrow, but an exclamation mark, which means the problem in the audio driver. In this case, it needs or update or reinstall. And there are several options for solving the problem. You can use a standard driver from the kit to the laptop, you can use special programs (DriverpacksolutiN, Drivergenius Pro, DriverUpdater or download the driver on the manufacturer's website of your sound card.

To look for the cause of the lack of sound on a laptop in BIOS. In it, we need the Advanced tab, where we draw attention to the status of the High Definition Audio item. And if we see the status of "disabled", it must be changed to "Enabled".
If all of the listed manipulations did not give results, then the reason is most likely in the sound card and will have to replace it.
