Solved System sounds work and some programs have sound, but others do not

[attheedgeof]

Hello

I would like to ask if anyone has any fixes for this problem. I would've specified in the title which programs do and do not have sound, but I've only really tested four so far.

Recently my speakers broke and last night I installed new ones. This problem has been persistent since then.
Chrome and MusicBee do not have sound (although the mixer shows that they do have sound, the speakers just don't seem to play them specifically for some reason), but Windows Media Player and Audacity do work, as well as system sounds.

Something else which might be of note is that whenever audio is played in Chrome or MusicBee is just opened, any other program which is producing sound stops being audible but still displays as audible in the mixer.

I've tried everything I could find. I've configured the speakers countless times, uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers, tried to update them but they were already up to date, disabled and re-enabled speakers, changed exclusivity, and disabled sound effects, to no avail.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I'm suspicious that it might have something to do with audio codecs. I'm not at all savvy with this sort of thing though so I wouldn't know.

Hello attheedgeof, welcome to the Forum.

I am not entirely familiar with Musicbee, but I shall begin by asking have you ever selected "Analyse volume" in MusicBee? Perhaps selecting "Restore Original Volume" (in MusicBee) may help here.

Hello, thank you for the reply

I haven't, but I assume that it's unrelated to the problem at hand. MusicBee isn't the only program which is having issues. Google Chrome and, as I have recently discovered, MuseScore 2 remove the sound.

For both your new and old speakers, do/did they connect to the computer via jack, USB, TOSLINK, SPDIF or Bluetooth?

They are connected via jack

Hello
I found the solution I was looking for on random chance. As it turns out, the audio output on my programs had changed somehow.
Things are okay now. Thank you for your help
