    I got an unexpected problem last night. My headphones were working last night properly but when I plug my headphones into my laptop in the morning there was no voice. Then I tried my headphones on my mobile phone and it was working. After that, I tried other headphones and again there was no voice from the laptop. It looks like there is no problem with voice settings. I will be very grateful if you could help me because I don't have any idea what is the problem.

    By saying no voice, I suppose that you mean no sound?
    In this case check if the drivers of your sound card are working by going to computer devices list.
    It would help if you mention what's your system and what's your laptop exactly.

    did you by any chance installed any software between today and yesterday?, or in the case of deep sleep usage, this week?

    sonar-works & other software install an audio driver emulation which can get selected as the default audio device in some cases,
    all good, except if you don't use the system wide software and just use the VST.

    Thank you very much for replying. I didn't install any software recently and sound drivers are okay. I will try re-installing the sound drivers

    To me it sounds like an issue with the headphone input on the laptop

    Yeah. Check this. Connect something different than these headphones to the laptop.

    What is your OS?
    Check in the Control Panel -> Devices & Sound -> Sound
    What is Your default device.
    And check Your Volume Mixer. Maybe You have some things mute here.
    Some apps for blocking ads like Spotify Ad Blocker can mute sounds in Volume Mixer and sometimes don't unmute.

    @Sabrina...here's another tip. The moisture (humidity) content of the air inside and outside your studio is constantly changing. Any metallic surfaces such as copper and chrome-plated contacts inside your computer, mixer, DAW card/interface as well as plugs and sockets can build up a thin layer of oxidized metal, otherwise known as corrosion. This corrosion can be an insulator and stop sound from getting through. A good anti-oxide spray and a cotton bud can be your friend to clean off the oxide.

    The other thing to check is the connection point of your headphones where the headphone wires go into the plug. This is a common problem area, even with expensive headphones. The wires can break without you being able to see it - even with molded (sealed) plugs. Headphones can often be rescued by replacing the old plug with a new one. This means a bit of soldering but this may be more than you want at the moment.
