Whether you are listening to music, watching a video, or on a call with someone, abrupt cut off of the audio is not something you would want.
In most cases, it happens with only one audio device, such as the default speaker on a laptop. Apart from this, there are also situations where you won’t get audio on any device for some time.
Both these scenarios usually result due to driver issues. But since other sound configurations or your application may be responsible, you have to troubleshoot all possible situations.
Reinstall Sound Driver
This issue mainly occurs due to corrupt audio drivers. To resolve such corruption, you must uninstall them andinstall stable driversin your system.
Use High Definition Audio Device Driver
Some device drivers may conflict with your device, even if Windows thinks it is the best driver for your device. Some users have experienced this issue with IDT, Realtek, or NVIDIA High Definition audio.
to resolve this issue, you can try manually setting the driver to High Definition Audio Device driver. It is Microsoft’s default HD audio driver.
Run Audio Troubleshooter
you may also run the audio troubleshooter on Windows whenever you encounter this audio issue. It will look through all the system’s relevant components and fix any mismatched configurations.
Check Communication Setting
If you experience audio cut offs when you are on a call with someone, it’s likely that your current communication setting is muting the audio. You can check and modify this setting through Sound Options.
Restart or Reinstall Application
If the audio cut off happens in only one application, the app itself may be causing the issue. First, restart the application. If it still shows the same issue, you willneed to uninstalland then reinstall it.
