Hello,
I'm running Windows 10 (build 10130) in a virtual machine and I noticed that the startup sound wasn't playing. The box for "Play startup sound" is checked in the Sound control panel, and I even checked imageres.dll to see if the startup sound was still there. (it still is.)
What could this mean, and how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance for answers.
DISABLE sound card DRIVERS in Device Manager then ENABLE it again.
This worked for the two times it hap opened to me.

Bump. I am now using build 10162, and the startup sound isn't playing.
Test other system sounds in Control Panel / Hardware & Sound / Change system sounds and "test" to see if any of the other system sounds are working for you.Bump. I am now using build 10162, and the startup sound isn't playing.
If none of your other system sounds are working either, try the suggestion below.
Try going into Control Panel/ Hardware & Sound/ Manage Audio Devices and selecting your Playback device then click the Properties button.
In the advanced tab change it from default to 24bit (or something different other than what it is currently set at) and hit apply, then change it back to whatever your default setting was and hit apply...reboot and see if it now works.
I tried all of that-- even unchecking the "Play Windows Startup sound" box and restarting and then checking the box again, and none of it worked.
Could be a bug in Windows. My sounds worked in build 10159 for all startup and recycle bin and all that jazz. I haven't been able to get sound to work since build 10162 for my computer. Some sounds play like UAC and etc, but no Windows Startup or Recycle Bin sounds even though I have them checked and they work when I test them.I tried all of that-- even unchecking the "Play Windows Startup sound" box and restarting and then checking the box again, and none of it worked.
Seems this shit gets more buggier every day. Its frustrating.
Upgraded to Build 10166 today. Startup sound still isn't there.
Those of you having sound problems, do you have a realtek sound device? Maybe try upgrading the sound driver or going back to an older version.
Well, now I am running THE FINAL VERSION (10240) and still nothing.
I would guess that this is a VMWare issue, but I'm not so sure about that.
