Won't play Audio on Video Wallpapers

[foolishsk8er]

I have tried to troubleshoot this thing like crazy turned off all background apps, Nvida and all that crap, set the settings to keep running and still nothing, all the audio on scenes work fine but when it's a video no sound. It happened randomly and it was playing sound fine until it stopped for some reason. Again, the audio is fine on scenes but not videos

Try using the Codec Tweak Tool to reset all audio and video codecs. If that does not work, try switching to LAV with DirectShow:

If the audio does not work on video-based wallpapers, it means that your system is incapable of playing the audio codecs used by the files for some reason. The issue is always in Windows itself and not in Wallpaper Engine or any other apps.

So it's happening when I unplug my headphones from the computer. When I plug them in the audio works fine but the second I unplug them the audio cuts out. I'll try what you suggested and hopefully that'll resolve it, thanks much for the help.

In that case you can ignore that, that's an entirely different issue. Basically Wallpaper Engine is unable to detect the "hot swapping" of the audio device in some cases, especially when using USB or bluetooth based audio. You can try and create a hotkey for "Stop (free memory)" in the Wallpaper Engine settings in that case and just hit it twice (to stop and then restart the current wallpaper). If that does not work, you may need to completely restart Wallpaper Engine in that case.
