    I am running Windows 10 on a Surface 3 2gb/64gb platform. I have been getting an intermittent loss of sound for no apparent reason, but have eventually managed to eliminate the problem and thought the solution might assist others:

    Right-click the Volume icon on the task bar
    Select Playback Devices
    Select Speakers/Headphones
    Click on Properties
    Click on Advanced
    DESELECT "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device "

    Since doing this, my sound problem has disappeared.
