WPD and no Sound under W7-Pro on an HP PC.

Mike Lynch · 05 Sep 2020

It's been almost a year since this started.

I try and search for solutions and soon or later I wind up at a Driver Download Site, which I do not use.

The Initial Windows Sounds play when the PC is turned on.

From that point on, there is no sound at all.

I try playing YouTube stuff, no sound.

I try listening to the News, no sound.

I have tried deleting WPD multiple times from the Device Manager, it keeps coming back.

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated

Best regards,

Mike Lynch

FYI - Once or twice a year, I plug in my Android Phone to transfer the pictures on it to my PC.

I read the Link however, I am a Novice and it says a lot I am not familiar with.

"Volume" doesn't mean what you think it does.

A volume is an area capable of holding data, or a single accessible data storage area. For example a disk partition is a volume.

What makes you think wpd is connected to any sound issues you may have?
