suddenly Sound is not coming from my laptop

Hey! Sorry to hear you're having sound issues — that can be frustrating. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot:

1. Check the Basics First

• Make sure your volume isn’t muted. It sounds simple, but it happens!
• Try pressing the volume up key on your keyboard or check the sound icon in the taskbar (bottom right).

2. Check Output Device

• Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar > click "Open Sound settings".
• Under Output, make sure the correct audio device (like your laptop’s speakers) is selected. Sometimes it switches to HDMI or a disconnected device.

3. Unplug External Devices

• If you had headphones or Bluetooth speakers connected earlier, unplug or disconnect them. Your system might still be routing sound there.

 4. Restart Audio Services

• Press Win + R, type services.msc, hit Enter.
• Scroll down to Windows Audio, right-click it > click Restart.

5. Update Audio Drivers

• Go to Device Manager > expand Sound, video and game controllers.
• Right-click your audio driver and select Update driver.

6. Run Windows Troubleshooter

• Settings > System > Sound > click “Troubleshoot” under Output.

If none of these work, try a full reboot or check if your system had a recent update that might've affected the drivers.
