Hi.  What happened before the issue started?

The sound played as normal. Then last night I was watching something on catch up but there was no sound despite the volume being as high as possible.

Is it only certain sites or is thee no sound at all when using anything?

No sound at all on TV catch up, Youtube or anything.

First, delete the sound driver from the Device Manger and then restart the computer and allow it to automatically reinstall the audio driver. Below are the steps:

Go to the search on the bottom left and type Device Manager and select it from the list. Once there, click to expand the sections and locate the sound driver. Click to highlight the sound entry and right
click it and click on uninstall. Then restart the computer. Once the computer
comes back up fully, allow Windows to automatically load the driver. Then, once that is done, test.
