No sound

Back off holiday and the sound, which comes from an internal speaker within the monitor, is non existent. Running Windows 10, checked all the plugs, leads etc. Can't think what it might be. Headphone socket works but I hate wearing headphones. Anything to do with Windows 10 support ceasing on October 14th?

I have on occasion found that Windows forgets it's Sound settings.

You mention checking all the physical connections, have you also checked the Windows sounds settings i.e. is the correct speaker selected?

Checked the sound settings. When I try to increase the volume on the sound settings, it just drags the "needle" back to zero. It won't let me set a volume level.

Sorry to ask again but can you confirm that in the sound settings that the speakers in the monitor are specific ones chosen for sound output and that the IIRC the correct driver is set?

I'm relying purely on memory of experiencing the exact issue and IIRC how I remedied it?

I can use both the speaker and the headphones. I can increase the volume for the headphones but not for the speaker. No idea where the correct driver is. I'll just have to wear these giant headphones. Really appreciate your help.

i suspect its a driver issue
go into device manager and have a look and remove the device and just reboot and see what the PC does

Have you tried running the troubleshooter?

I've even been asked for my Adobe account details for Lightroom, that's not happened for years!
