My issue may overlap Godot's.

My sound went out while music was playing, from a music site. I heard a loud vibrating, grating sound lasting 3 seconds. and I had no sound, tried to play from other sources, other sites, youtube, etc. NADA. I then realized my speaker light was off. I tried resetting, tried different usb ports, etc. NO SOUND. I searched , ran microsoft 'detection' which said my drivers are fine, hardware is fine, everything A-OK. but still no sound. (I did just about all the moves Godot made.prior to posting a related problem here.)

I purchased a driver updater recommended by PC Mag, and updated 15 drivers. I tried different output devece settings. NOTHING. I tried headphones as well as speakers no sound..

Something had done an update just prior to the initial mess-up. Not sure whether it had been Firefox or Windows 10. That was over a month ago.

A week ago a pop-up said Windows Media Player did not disconnect properly. - I think that was what it said, and when I followed it it said THIS APPLIES TO WINDOWS 7 !!!. I haven't been using Win7 for 3-4 years. Can an update from Windows have confused my sound system? Switched it back to Win 7? FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE!

Windows 10, Dell Inspiron desktop 7 year old computer, in use 6 years, orig used Win 7. Lots of unused potential, because I don't download movies. Music is my own music, essentially, plus use of sites like youtube, etc. - without much downloading.

I received the following suggestions from Vijay days ago, which I followed:

Does this make any sense? Your help would be very, very much appreciated. -from magicmagic3
