Where can I change the sounds in Windows 10
In order to change the sounds of Windows 10 we obviously have to go to the sound section of our operating system.
There are different ways to do it, but perhaps the quickest and easiest is by right-clicking on any free area of the desktop, and in the drop-down list, we will then click on “ Personalize ”.
Through this section we are going to find all the Windows 10 customization options , but obviously in this case we are going to focus on the sound, and for this you will see on the left a series of options among which we will have to click on “ Topics ”.

As you can see, the first thing we find is the possibility of choosing between different sound combinations . Of course we will also be able to create our own combinations or even through this list we will be able to deactivate all the sounds of the operating system .
At first we only have a combination of sounds that are the Windows defaults , but just below we have a box through which we can scroll and individually choose the sound for each type of action.
When selecting a specific action at the bottom you will see a drop-down list where you can choose any sound, a button called “ Test ” with which you will check the specific sound, and a button called “ Examine …” through which you will access a window with which you can choose any type of sound that you have stored on your PC or even on any external hard drive.
Once your new sound combination is finished, all you have to do is click on the “ Save as …” button and you will see a window where you will only have to enter the name you want to associate with this new sound combination.
Turn on sound when starting Windows 10
By default, whenever we start our operating system before we listen to a very characteristic little music, but in the case of Windows 10 it is deactivated. Don’t worry because this has a solution, and for this all you have to do is access this window where we are and activate the box ” Play Windows startup sound “.
Once done, we have no choice but to accept the changes and we will have learned to change the sounds of Windows 10 and activate the startup sound of our operating system.
Fix Windows 10 sound problems
Silent mode
There are times that some apps are shown in full screen and therefore eliminate the taskbar, if this is your case:
Click on the Windows logo that appears on the keyboard and the taskbar will open, where you will have to select the volume icon option and raise it to 100 to make sure it is not silent.
audio accessories
There are many times that we may have an accessory such as speakers or headphones and the audio is diverted to the accessory. If this is your problem, all you have to do is disconnect the headphones or speakers so that the sound can be reproduced on the computer again.
Bad connection with accessories
If you have any device connected and you can’t hear it well or the connection is lost, you need to disconnect and reconnect the accessories to ensure a good connection and implementation with the computer’s audio.
Update to the latest version
If you have a device that is not updated to the latest version , audio issues may occur.
Run the audio problem wizard
Press and hold the volume icon and select “Fix audio problems” and then follow the instructions that Windows 10 tells you.
Check manufacturer update issues
Although the sound is played thanks to the hardware, most Windows 10 problems occur when there are incompatibilities with the software, for this we recommend that you:
- Press the Windows 10 button.
- Find the command exeand select dxdiag Run Command.
- In the sound section, find the sound manufacturer and write down all the data.
- Look for the manufacturer’s information on their website to make sure you have the latest version.
