When this guide applies

Exact FiiO K7. The original K7 is powered and the computer already enumerates it through a USB data cable; its headphone output is already selected. You accept a media input change; no call/recording is active.

Connection scope: USB audio. Symptom: There is no playback sound.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
