This means that if you have set a low volume in Windows, audio recording will also not work: Windows does not differentiate between the volumes for audio recording and audio playback. If the correct audio device is selected but you can still not hear any audio or if your audio visualizers do not work, ensure you are not muting Wallpaper Engine in the Windows audio mixer or have it set to a very quiet volume. If you are unsure which device is correct, try all possible devices while listening to music until the audio visualizers start working. Make sure the correct device is selected.

Towards the center you can find the 'Media' section where you can select the audio recording device. Go to the Wallpaper Engine settings and navigate to the 'General' tab. If you are having issues with audio playback, please see this guide instead: This article is about audio visualizers not working.
