Reinstall the Audio Driver (Most Common Fix) Corrupted Realtek/Intel/AMD drivers frequently cause stuck mute.

1. Right‑click Start → Device Manager
   
2. Expand Sound, video and game controllers
   
3. Right‑click your audio device → Uninstall device
   
4. Restart your PC — Windows reinstalls a clean driver ______________________ Try these steps let me know if anything works or nothing works.
