Restart Your PC!
Restarting your PC is the simplest of possible fixes for the Roblox “No sound driver” error. However, some players have said that this potential fix has worked for them. So, try selecting Restart on your Start menu first to see if that makes any difference. If not, proceed with the other potential resolutions below.
The Restart option
Reset Sound Mixer Settings
Some players confirm resetting sound mixer settings in Windows can resolve the Roblox “No sound driver” error. Doing this will reset mixer settings to Microsoft’s recommended defaults. This is how you can reset the sound mixer settings.
- Simultaneously press the Windows logo + S keys on your keyboard to activate the search box.
- Enter Sound mixer inside the search tool.
- Click Sound mixer options to select that search result.
- Click Reset to restore defaults.

Uninstall Voicemeeter
Voicemeeter is third-party audio software that can cause the Roblox “No sound driver” error to occur on Windows PCs. Is Voicemeeter installed on your PC? If so, try uninstalling that software like this.
- Activate the file search tool in Windows.
- Enter apps & features and select the matching search result.
- Type Voicemeeter into the search box within Apps & features.
- Click Uninstall to remove Voicemeeter.
The Apps & features tool
If you prefer not to uninstall Voicemeeter, try setting Voicemeeter as the output sound device for Roblox. To do that, start Roblox and bring up the sound mixer options, as covered in the previous resolution. Then, select Voicemeeter Input for Roblox in the output drop-down menu for that game.
Update Audio Device Drivers
Outdated audio device drivers are another potential cause for the Roblox “No sound driver” error. This Microsoft page explains how users can update device drivers with the Device Manager tool. Try updating drivers for all devices within the Audio inputs and outputs and Sound, video and game controllers categories. However, Device Manager isn’t especially reliable because it doesn’t search online for new drivers.

An alternative way to apply this potential resolution is to utilize third-party driver updater software, such as Driver Booster. That software scans your PC for outmoded drivers and automatically installs new ones when you select Update Now. This IObit page provides step-by-step instructions for how you can update drivers with that software. So, you can utilize that software to update drivers for sound devices.

Reinstall Roblox
Finally, try reinstalling Roblox Player if the Roblox “No sound driver” error remains unresolved after applying the other possible fixes above. You can remove the Roblox app much the same as Voicemeeter, as covered for resolution three. To reinstall, go to the Roblox site and click the play button to start the game, which will download and install the required software.
Those possible fixes will often resolve the Roblox “No sound driver” on Windows PCs. Nothing is guaranteed, but the resolutions discussed above are confirmed to work by players who’ve needed to resolve this Roblox gaming issue. However, Roblox does have a support service you can also ask for more potential fixes from this contact form page.
