Windows 10 audio is not working

[Dylan Havel]

So, Basically, my audio works when i play it through HDMI into a tv, however, when using headphones it creates a buzzing sound and is very quiet at 100%. When i plug my speakers in to it, i get no audio. Any idea what is wrong or how i can fix it? Thanks.

Right click the audio speaker icon in the system tray, select Playback Devices.
Check there what the default output is. Most likely it is set to playback through the HDMI interface. Set the speakers as default and you should be good.

I unplugged the HDMI and put the default as the headphones, However their is no change, its still quiet and buzzing through my headphones and no audio is coming from the speakers when i tried them.

Check that the audio drivers are correctly installed in Device Manager.

How can i check this?

Right click start button, select Device Manager.
Anything showing up with Yellow ! ?
If not, go to Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Double click the audio device (should be a Realtek device), then go to the Driver tab and click Update Driver.
Let it go look online for an update, if there is one.
Any change?

None of the drivers are yellow, I went to the driver tab, it said the driver was up to date. So i uninstalled the driver then reinstalled. No change still buzzing and really quiet.

Hmm.
I would suggest that you then have an audio chip failure, unless someone else can suggest another alternative.
Cheapest remedy here would be to acquire an add-in audio card.

Oh, and the volume is turned up, right? (You'd be surprised what I've come across)

So something like this?

And yes, volume is up 100%

Yep, that should work quite nicely.
