你是否经常修改输出音量，直到它达到甜蜜的声学点？^{(Do you constantly tinker with the output volume until it hits the sweet acoustic spot?)}如果是，那么任务栏最右侧的扬声器^(Taskbar)或音量^(Speakers)控制图标^{(Control icon)}一定是一个真正的祝福。但有时， Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}桌面/笔记本电脑音量控制^{(volume control)}图标可能会出现问题。音量控制^(Control)图标可能完全变灰^{(icon may be greyed out)}或丢失^{(or missing altogether)}。单击它可能完全没有任何作用。此外，音量滑块^{(volume slider)}可能不会移动或自动调整/锁定到不希望的值。在本文中，我们将解释令人愤怒的音量控制的潜在修复^{(volume control)} 无法运行Windows 10问题。所以，继续阅读！

修复 Windows 10 音量控制不起作用的问题
^{(Fix Windows 10 Volume Control Not Working Issue )}

音量系统图标^{(Volume system icon)}用于浏览各种音频设置，例如：

• 单击^{(Single-click)}图标会弹出音量滑块^{(volume slider)}以进行快速调整
• 右键单击^{(Right-click)}图标显示选项以打开声音设置、混音器^{( Sound settings, Volume mixer)}等。

也可以使用Fn 键^{(Fn keys)}或某些键盘上的专用多媒体键来调整^{(dedicated multimedia keys)}输出音量。^{(output volume)}但是，一些用户报告说，这两种调整音量^{(adjusting volume)}的方法都已停止在他们的计算机上运行。这个问题很成问题，因为您无法在 Windows 10 上调整系统音量^{(system volume on Windows 10)}。 

专业提示：如何启用音量系统图标^{(Pro Tip: How to Enable Volume System Icon)}

如果任务栏^(Taskbar)上缺少音量滑块图标^{(volume slider icon)}，请按照以下步骤启用它：

1. 同时按Windows + I keys打开设置^(Settings)。

2. 点击个性化^{(Personalization)}设置，如图所示。

3.从左窗格转到任务栏菜单。^(Taskbar)

4. 向下滚动到通知区域^{(Notification area)}，然后单击打开或关闭系统图标^{(Turn system icons on or off)}选项，突出显示。

5. 现在，打开音量^(On)系统^(Volume)图标的开关，如图所示。

为什么音量控制在 Windows 10 PC 中不起作用？^{(Why Volume Control Not Working in Windows 10 PC?)}

• 如果音频服务出现故障，音量控制将无法为您工作。
• 如果您的explorer.exe 应用程序^{(explorer.exe application)}有问题。
• 音频驱动程序已损坏或过时。
• 操作系统^{(operating system)}文件中存在错误或错误。

初步故障排除^{(Preliminary Troubleshooting)}

1.首先，重新启动您的PC^{(restart your PC )}并检查是否修复了音量控制^{(volume control)}无法正常工作的Windows 10问题。

2. 另外，try unplugging external speaker/headset系统重新启动^{(system restart)}后重新连接。

方法 1：运行音频疑难解答^{(Method 1: Run Audio Troubleshooter)}

在动手并自己进行所有故障排除之前，让我们使用Windows 10中内置的^{(Windows 10)}音频故障排除^{(Audio troubleshooter)}工具。该工具对音频设备驱动程序、音频服务和设置^{(service & settings)}、硬件更改等运行一系列预定义检查，并自动解决一些经常遇到的问题。

1. 按Windows 键^{(Windows key)}，键入控制面板^{(Control Panel)}，然后单击打开^(Open)。

2. 设置View by > Large icons，然后单击故障排除^{(Troubleshooting )}选项。

3. 单击左侧窗格中的查看全部^{(View All)}选项。

4. 单击播放音频^{(Playing Audio )}疑难解答选项。

5. 点击播放音频^{(Playing Audio)}疑难解答中的高级^(Advanced)选项，如图所示。

6. 然后，选中Apply repairs automatically选项并单击Next，如突出显示的那样。

7.疑难解答将开始检测问题^{(Detecting problems)}，您应该按照屏幕上的说明^{( on-screen instructions)}解决问题。

方法 2：重新启动 Windows 资源管理器^{(Method 2: Restart Windows Explorer)}

explorer.exe 进程^{(explorer.exe process)}负责显示所有桌面元素、任务栏和其他用户界面功能。如果它已被损坏或损坏，则会导致任务栏和桌面^{(taskbar and desktop)}无响应。要解决此问题并恢复音量控制，您可以从任务管理器手动重新启动^{(Task manager)}explorer.exe 进程^{(explorer.exe process)}，如下所示：

1.同时按Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys打开任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}。

2.在这里，任务管理器显示所有在前台或后台^{(foreground or background)}运行的活动进程^{(all active processes)}。

注意：^(Note:)单击左下角的更多^(More) 详细信息以查看相同的内容。^(details)

3. 在进程^(Processes)选项卡中，右键单击Windows 资源管理器^{(Windows Explorer)}进程并选择重新启动^{(Restart )}选项，如下所示。

注意：^{(Note: )}整个用户界面会消失一秒钟，即屏幕会在重新出现之前变黑。音量控制现在应该回来了。如果没有，请尝试下一个解决方案。

4. 找到并选择Windows 音频^{(Windows Audio )}服务，然后单击左侧窗格中出现的重新启动服务选项。^{(Restart the service )}

这应该可以解决问题，现在红十字会消失。为了防止在下次启动时再次发生上述错误，请执行给定的步骤：

5. 右键单击​​ Windows 音频^{(Windows Audio)}服务并选择属性^(Properties)。

6. 在常规^{(General )}选项卡中，选择启动类型^{(Startup type )}为自动^(Automatic)。

7. 另外，检查服务状态^{(Service status)}。如果显示已停止^(Stopped)，请单击开始^(Start)按钮将服务状态^{(Service status)}更改为正在运行^(Running)。

注意：^(Note:)如果状态显示为Running，请转到下一步。

7B。或者，单击在Windows 更新上搜索更新的驱动程序，^{(Search for updated drivers on Windows Update)}这将带您到设置^{(Settings )}以搜索任何最近的可选驱动程序更新。^{(Optional driver updates.)}

方法5：重新安装音频驱动程序^{(Method 5: Reinstall Audio Driver)}

如果由于音频驱动程序不兼容而问题仍然存在，即使在更新之后，也请卸载当前设置并执行全新安装，如下所述：

1. 导航到Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers，如前所述。

2. 右键单击​​您的音频驱动程序^{(audio driver)}，然后单击卸载设备^{(Uninstall device)}，如下所示。 

3. 卸载声音驱动程序^{(sound driver)}后，右键单击该组^(group)并选择扫描硬件更改^{(Scan for hardware changes)}，如下图所示。

4.等待^(Wait)Windows自动扫描并在您的系统上安装默认^(Windows)音频^{(default audio)}驱动程序。 

5. 最后，重新启动您的 PC^{(restart your PC)}并检查您是否能够修复Windows 10上^{(Windows 10)}音量控制^{(volume control)}不起作用的问题。 

另请阅读：^{(Also Read:)} 修复^{(Fix Computers)}Windows 10中未在^{(Windows 10)}网络^(Network)上显示的计算机

Do you constantly tinker with the output volume until it hits the sweet acoustic spot? If yes, the Speakers or Volume Control icon present at the extreme right of the Taskbar must be a true blessing. But sometimes, there may arise an issue with Windows 10 desktop/laptop volume control icon not working. The Volume Control icon may be greyed out or missing altogether.

Fix Windows 10 Volume Control Not Working Issue

Volume system icon is used to navigate through the various audio settings like:

• Single-click on the icon brings forth the volume slider for quick adjustments
• Right-click on the icon displays options to open Sound settings, Volume mixer, etc.

The output volume can also be adjusted using the Fn keys or dedicated multimedia keys on some keyboards. However, several users have reported that both these methods of adjusting volume have stopped working on their computers. This issue is quite problematic as you wouldn’t be able to adjust your system volume on Windows 10.

If the volume slider icon is missing from the Taskbar, follow these steps to enable it:

1. Press Windows + I keys simultaneously to open Settings.

2. Click on Personalization settings, as shown.

3. Go to the Taskbar menu from the left pane.

4. Scroll down to the Notification area and click on the Turn system icons on or off option, shown highlighted.

Method 1: Run Audio Troubleshooter

Before getting our hands dirty and doing all the troubleshooting ourselves, let’s make use of the built-in Audio troubleshooter tool in Windows 10. The tool runs a bunch of pre-defined checks for audio device drivers, audio service & settings, hardware changes, etc., and automatically resolves a number of frequently faced issues.

Method 3: Restart Windows Audio Services

Similar to the explorer.exe process, a glitched instance of the Windows audio service can be the culprit behind your volume control woes. The said service manages audio for all Windows-based programs and should always stay active in the background. Otherwise several audio-related issues like volume control not working windows 10 will be encountered.

1. Hit the Windows + R keys simultaneously to open Run dialog box.

2. Type services.msc and click on OK to launch Services Manager application.

Method 4: Update Audio Driver

The device driver files should always be kept up-to-date for the hardware components to function flawlessly. If volume control not working Windows 10 issue started after installing a new Windows update, it is likely that the build has some inherent bugs that are prompting the issue. It also could be because of incompatible audio drivers. If the latter is the case, manually update the driver files as follows:

6. Windows will automatically search the drivers needed for your PC and install it. Restart your PC to implement the same.

7A. Click on Close if The best drivers for your device are already installed message is displayed.

7B. Or, click on Search for updated drivers on Windows Update which will take you to Settings to search for any recent Optional driver updates.

Method 5: Reinstall Audio Driver

If the issue continues to persist because of incompatible audio drivers, even after the update, uninstall the current set and perform a clean install as explained below:

1. Navigate to Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers as earlier.

2. Right-click on your audio driver and click on Uninstall device, as shown below. 

3. After uninstalling the sound driver, right-click on the group and select Scan for hardware changes, as illustrated below.
