There’s a audio bug in Windows 10, the sound icon at the notification bar is normal, but there’s no sound.

When this problem occurs, Youtube might freeze, and Discord might stuck in loading page.

Solution is to:

  1. Open task manager.
  2. Kill all audiodg.exe.
  3. Right-click the sound icon at the notification bar.
  4. Click Troubleshoot sound problems.
  5. Keep clicking next and wait, the sound should be back soon.
  6. If the troubleshooter asks about Sound Enhancements, you can just click turn off.

Another solution is to open Services and Stop and Restart the Windows Audio service. This seems to be the fastest way.

I’ve updated all my drivers recently, and the issue didn’t occur anymore, I think it may be my speaker drivers problem…
