You really need to give more details.

Agreed. What OS? When did it start? Any changes to your cimputer? Any new speakers or (head)phones connected to the PC?

When does it happen? Whenever you boot up? Wake from sleep? Start any particular program(s)? Or just randomly? (And before you say "randomly", give it some real thought, try rebooting and/or putting it to sleep and waking it up a few times, while paying close attention to what's happening, when...)

I ran into this one recently, and it was definitely malware. Sound would start out fine on their laptop, then immediately lower until muted within a second or so. Uninstall the audio again, then run Malwarebytes suite including adwcleaner, HijackThis, CCleaner, antivirus, and reinstall audio.

Hmm. Interesting that this would be malware.

I had a problem on both my N2830 laptop, and my G4600 (KBL) DeskMini, with "no audio" after installing the Win10 Creator's update. Not immediately after installing it, but just some time of staying on, with the screen asleep. Both are using Intel graphics. The DeskMini is connected to a 4K UHD TV via a DisplayPort to HDMI2.0 Club3D active adapter, and the laptop has realtek audio.

Could also be a faulty keyboard switch, cables, or...or...

Everytime I update my video card drivers in Win10 my audio gets defaulted to the Video Card. Make sure the correct Audio device is set as default.
