Solution 2 – Restart the Audiosrv service using Task Manager

Audiosrv (Windows Audio Service) is responsible for all kinds of sound output from the device when a sound event occurs on the system.

Step 5: Once done, close the task manager window.

Step 6: Now open the Spotify app and play any song, check if you can hear the sound coming out of the device.
