Sound not working only in wow

[hellomynameisaj]

So I log into WoW Randomly and I have just no sound at all. I’ve done CTRL s, Checked my files, messed with settings and switched them to default. Nothing has worked and its extremely frustrating. I’ve also tried other game clients of the game to see if it doesn’t make sound. This is extremely frustrating and I’ve tried other forums with no help and I don’t know what to do. Someone please help!

Here is my sound notepad just in case anyone wanted to see.

I ran into this issue years ago on retail WoTLK. Turned out it had nothing to do with the WoW client. I had to uninstall the Realtek sound drivers then reinstall them.
Took a bit to figure that out since sound worked for other games and Windows in general and only intermittently stopped working in WoW.

So if your audio chipset it Realtek give that a try.

I have also seen in Windows 10 that if you use HDMI video (which also sends audio) Windows will sometime change the audio output from HDMI to internal Speaker (audio output). To force the issue you can go into the Windows sound setting and disable the output you don't want to use. That forces Windows to use the only available input. Windows 10 also has the option to set this on a per application basic but it is buried in teh setting. You can Google the subject if interested.

Hope you get it sorted out.
