In this article I will explain why the message “Audio output device is not installed” appears in Windows 7 and Windows 10, and how to fix it. Many PC users can detect a sudden significant decrease in or. Sometimes this happens after installing a system update, but usually the problem occurs suddenly, for no apparent reason. The specified dysfunction can be both software and hardware in nature.
List of causes of a sound problem
Usually, when there is no sound on the PC, we can see a sound icon (speaker) on the taskbar with a red circle and a cross on it.
In the statistical majority of cases (about 80% of all malfunctions), the drivers for sound devices that are either damaged, malfunctioning, or not installed at all on the system are to blame for the “Audio output device not installed” problem.
In other cases, the cause of problems with sound can be various malfunctions in the Windows OS, the activity of virus or antivirus programs, as well as software mute of sound devices (in BIOS or Windows, by accident or intent).
Also, do not neglect hardware malfunctions, for example, failure of the headphone plug (speakers), a broken audio jack on the motherboard, or a malfunction in the functionality of the motherboard of your PC.
At the same time, both Windows 7 and Windows 10, the causes of the malfunction are similar, as are the methods for solving this problem.
How to fix the message “Audio output device not installed”
Below we will examine in detail the various solutions to the problem "Audio output device not installed."
Before checking the system for the correct operation of the drivers and the presence of other software malfunctions. We recommend that you verify the correctness (and density) of connecting external sound devices (headphones and speakers) to the appropriate PC connector (usually this is a green connector on a desktop PC).
You must also make sure that the cable and plug of these devices are not damaged, that they are not visible breaks and other signs of physical impact. It is recommended to connect them to another computer in order to make sure that these audio devices are working properly and that the existing problems with sound are not caused by the breakdown of these devices.
Method number 1. Check for sound in BIOS
In some cases, the cause of the disappearance of sound in the system is its deactivation in BIOS. To turn on the sound, you need to go to the BIOS of your PC, find the “HD Audio” parameters there. Either “High Definition Audio” or “AC'97” (usually in “Advanced” - “Onboard Devices Configuration”), select “Enable” in front of them, then save the changes by pressing “F10” and reboot your pc.
Method number 2. Solving problems with drivers
As we mentioned above, the dominant majority of problems with sound arise due to damaged, incorrect or missing drivers for sound devices. To check, you need to go to the Device Manager, and look at the display of the sound devices available on the PC there. To do this, click on the "Start" button, in the search bar, enter devmgmt.msc, and press enter.
- After opening the “Device Manager” window, we need to check the sound drivers in the list for problems in their operation.
- To do this, find the tab “Sound, game or video devices” in the list.
- Double-click on it, and in the list of sound devices that opens, check for the presence of yellow or red icons with an exclamation mark next to them, or other signs that indicate problems in the operation of sound equipment.
If there is no information on sound devices in this tab, while the Device Manager has a tab “Unknown device” with a question mark or “Audio output device not installed”, this may indicate that there is no driver for your device in the system
What to do if these icons are detected?
- If the sound driver is disabled (a sign with an arrow down), then you need to move the cursor on this sound card, press the right mouse button, and select "Enable" in the menu that appears;
- If there is a yellow circle with an exclamation mark (or even a red one), then you need to reinstall (or roll back) the drivers for this sound device. In the first case, we recommend that you first uninstall the existing drivers. Why you need to hover over a sound device with a "yellow" exclamation mark, press the right mouse button, and select "Delete Device". Then restart the PC, and let the system reinstall the drivers on its own, or use the automatic driver search, as indicated below.
Sound stopped working after update
If previously the sound worked fine, and after some update it stopped working, then you need to roll back the system to the previously used correct driver. To do this, hover over your sound device in the Device Manager (tab “Sound, game or video devices”), press the right mouse button, and select “Roll back” (if available).
You can also try updating the problem driver, for which, in the Device Manager, select your sound device, right-click, and select "Update Drivers" - "Automatic Driver Search".
Select the Update Driver option to update the drivers for your sound card. If this driver update does not work, I recommend using special software solutions to update drivers of the “DriverPack Solution”, “Driver Easy” level or other analogs, or download drivers for the sound card of your PC on the manufacturer’s website.
Problems in Windows 10
If Windows 10 is installed on your PC and your sound card is displayed as a “Device with High Definition Audio Support”, this may indicate that the correct drivers are not installed for your sound card. Look for drivers specifically for your laptop (and in particular the motherboard) on the manufacturer’s website, or use the list. If you downloaded the driver installer for your sound card for another OS (Windows 7 or Windows 8), then you should try to run the installer in compatibility mode with the specified OS.
If instead of the name of the sound card you see “Device with High Definition Audio Support”, then you need to install the correct driver for your system Method number 3. Enable a system troubleshooting tool
A good way to solve the problem with the sound “Audio output device not installed” is to use a special diagnostic manager, which allows you to get rid of various kinds of problems, including sound ones.
To start it, click on the "Start" button, in the search bar, enter:
msdt.exe / id AudioPlaybackDiagnostic
Method number 4. Checking the system for virus programs
In some cases, the cause of problems with audio on a PC may be the activity of virus programs. It is necessary to get rid of them with the help of such tools as “Dr.Web CureIt!”, “Trojan Remover”, “AdwCleaner”, “Kaspersky Removal Tool” and others.
Method number 5. Temporarily disable antivirus software
In a number of rather rare cases, the cause of problems with sound is an antivirus that blocks the correct operation of a sound device (sound driver). To resolve this issue, it is recommended to temporarily disable the antivirus in order to make sure that its functionality does not interfere with the correct sound playback on your PC. If the antivirus turned out to be guilty of this problem, it is recommended that you either reinstall the antivirus or look for an effective alternative to it.
Method number 6. Change the sound settings
Some users were helped by changing the bitrate of the sound card. To do this, click on the "Start" button, in the search bar, enter mmsys.cpl and press enter. In the sound panel that opens, select “Speakers”, then click on “Properties”, go to the “Advanced” tab, and try switching the “Default format” parameter to “16 bits, 44100 Hz”.
You can also try to go to the tab "Advanced Features" (Improvements), and disable all the effects involved there by unchecking them.
In the “Communication” tab, also enable the “No action is required” option, this can help fix the “Audio output device is not installed” error on your PC.
Method number 7. Using a different sound card
An alternative solution to the problem is to use an external sound card connected to the computer through the USB connector. The cost of this device is not high (less than $ 10), so you can recommend the purchase and use of this device as one of the ways to solve problems with sound on your PC.
Method number 8. We check the operability of the "Windows Audio" service.
In some cases, the Windows Audio service, which is responsible for working with sound, may be suspended for various reasons.
- It is recommended to go to the section on work with services (click on the "Start" button, in the search bar enter services.msc, and press enter).
- Find “Windows Audio” in the list of services, double-click on it, and set the startup type to “Automatic” (if before that there was a different value).
- Then reboot your PC.
Check the performance of the Windows Audio service Method number 9. We use system recovery
A fairly effective way to solve dysfunction is to roll back the system to the previous recovery point, where there were no problems with sound.
- To do this, click on the "Start" button, in the search bar, enter rstrui, and press enter.
- Select a stable recovery point, and roll back the system to this state.
Method number 10. Reinstalling Windows OS
A fairly radical way to deal with the problem is to completely reinstall the Windows operating system (some users only helped this method). At the same time, we would not recommend resorting to the complete demolition of the operating system as long as it is possible to use alternative methods.
In particular, as such an alternative, we can check the integrity of the Windows system files, for which run the command line as administrator, and then enter in it:
sfc / scannow
Press enter and wait for the file verification process to complete. Then reboot your system, this will help to eliminate the "Audio output device is not installed" error on your computer.
Conclusion
Problems with the audio output device can have many causes, ranging from problems with the drivers to the failure of the audio playback device. It is recommended that you use all the tips listed in the article, this will help restore normal sound to your PC.
At times, when upgrading to Windows 10 or installing it cleanly, users encounter a malfunctioning sound system. It crashes or completely stops working. It happens that the sound disappears completely, sometimes its volume becomes quieter gradually. In some cases, the headphone output on the front of the computer panel stops functioning normally. The reason that after installing Windows 10 the sound disappeared, there may be a combination of several factors. About how to get rid of it, and eliminate the consequences of a failure, in the continuation of this article.
The least effective way is to use the system service to troubleshoot the sound reproduction of the OS. However, he should also pay attention. To do this, you need to find the speaker tab, right-click to open the menu and select "Detect sound problems." There are no guarantees that it will work, but in this way the most obvious malfunctions of the system are excluded, which imply wear and tear of computer elements and their replacement.
The second standard way is to use the device manager. When a malfunction occurs during the next OS update, a user sound card is selected by right-clicking on the Start menu. Next, right-click the menu, the tab "Driver" is located and click "Roll back". Disabling the automatic updating of IT products for a sound card can also prevent future problems with it.
The negative impact of installing and updating the OS on sound
The cause of the malfunction of the audio playback does not appear immediately. Often, when the sound disappears, the speaker label on the taskbar responds to this with a delay. He continues to show that everything is normal, the message “Device is working fine” is saved in the “Device Manager”, and OS update is not required.
The only hint for the advanced user is to designate the sound card in the form “Device with High Definition Audio Support”. This name is a reliable indicator of the lack of necessary IT-products. Often malfunctions are affected by the sound chips of Asus and Sony laptops. Among them are Realtek, Conexant SmartAudio HD and VIA HD.
Installing a driver for sound in the new OS
There are several effective ways to troubleshoot. The most effective include the following:
- In "Search", enter your_support_notebook_model or your_support_mother_board_model. It’s better not to look for an IT product on the resource of the chip manufacturer, in particular, Realtek. It is recommended to visit the Internet platform of the manufacturer of the entire device.
- In the user support segment for downloading is the necessary software. IT products for Windows 7 and 8 are compatible with the latest version of the OS. A prerequisite is the correspondence of the bit depths (x64 or x86) of the driver and the currently installed system. Information on how to identify them is publicly available.
- Next, the drivers are installed.
At first glance, it’s simple, but in practice there are some difficulties. Some users report that at the end of the procedure, nothing has changed. The reason is that at times the software does not actually load. However, the system does not signal a failure. It guides the user through all the steps, completes the procedure, but after looking at the driver properties in the "Device Manager", it is not possible to find the corresponding changes.
The described incident is eliminated as follows:
The installer starts in compatibility mode with an earlier version of the OS. This measure is most effective. In particular, Conexant SmartAudio and Via HD are thus downloaded onto the laptop. In this case, this method is applicable, but does not guarantee success.
In more difficult situations, preliminary removal of the sound card (“Sound and game video devices”), as well as the components and other software of the “Audio inputs and audio outputs” tab, helps. In the "Device Manager", right-clicking an item is selected and deleted. In the sequel, the installer starts in compatibility mode. When the driver is still not installed, in the "Device Manager" select "Action" and "Update hardware configuration." In Realtek, this method works relatively more often.
If, in the end, the previous driver is installed, you should right-click to select the sound card, and also click "Update driver" and "Search for drivers on this computer." Then you need to check whether a new software product compatible with the system has appeared in the list.
If the official IT component was not found, the algorithm presented above with removing the sound card in the device manager and updating the hardware configuration is still worth applying.
Sound or microphone troubleshooting
The method described below is suitable for many laptops, but is especially in demand among Asus owners. The reason is that the Via Audio sound chip often has incidents with playback in Windows 10 and using a microphone.
The following measures must be taken:
- The “Audio Inputs and Audio Outputs” opens. To do this, right-click “Start”, and click “Device Manager”.
- Each item of the opened section is deleted, including the driver, upon receipt of a corresponding offer from the system.
- Next, go to the “Sound and game video devices” section, and clean it in the same way (HDMI components must be left).
- Then the Via Audio driver from Asus is loaded. It can be found on the official resource. The choice is great, because for each model of the laptop an appropriate software product is offered, separately for Windows 7 and 8.1.
- Further, in the compatibility mode with the selected OS, the driver installer is launched. This action is performed as administrator.
It is worth noting that the choice of the previous version of the driver is not accidental, since VIA 6.0.11.200 is often more functional, and not its modern counterparts.
Key parameters of playback devices
Most novice users do not attach due importance to the need for a thorough system check. Particular attention should be paid to additional parameters of sound playback devices in the new OS. This is done as follows:
Right-click to select the speaker shortcut located at the very bottom of the notification area. "Playback devices" is pressed.
After this, make sure that the correct equipment is installed by default. If not, select the necessary, and click "Use by default."
If the headphones and speakers, as expected, are installed by default, you need to right-click them, click "Properties" and go to the "Advanced Features" or "Improvements" section. It notes “Muting all sound effects.”
Upon completion of the described procedure, you need to make sure that the sound is working.
Other troubleshooting
It happens that the recording is played, but very quietly, and the volume is arbitrarily reduced. However, the user does not affect the dynamics of these changes. The sound may begin to wheeze, and the volume will vary uncontrollably.
For this problem, the following action algorithms:
In “Advanced Features” or “Improvements”, “Muting all sound effects” is marked. Next, you need to apply the settings, and then return to the list of playback devices.
After that, the “Communication” tab is opened, and “No action is required” is set. The option to decrease the volume or mute the sound must be removed.
- Through the “Device Manager” select the sound card, then “Properties” and “Update driver”,
- In the list of installed drivers, a non-native IT product is selected. A prerequisite is OS compatibility. The system itself can provide one of them.
It’s rare, but it happens that a non-native IT product is able to eliminate a malfunction that does not continue to occur.
In circumstances where the above examples of solving the problem of sound reproduction did not help, it is worth trying one of the currently popular IT products - driver pack.
Another aspect of the issue is the state of the microphone, headphones and speakers. It is necessary to check their performance, since they can be corny malfunctioning. At times, the problem is not in the Windows 10 operating system, but in them. If a malfunction is detected, they should be transferred to one of the corresponding service centers, which are now in abundance both in megacities and in small towns.
Many users who upgraded to Windows 10, or after a clean installation of the OS, faced a variety of problems with sound in the system - some simply lost sound on a laptop or computer, others stopped working sound through the headphone output on the front of the PC, Another common situation is that the sound itself becomes quieter over time.
This step-by-step guide describes the possible ways to fix the most common problems when audio playback does not work correctly or the sound simply disappeared in Windows 10 after updating or installing, and also simply during operation for no apparent reason. See also: , .
The most common variant of the problem is that the sound simply disappears on the computer or laptop. In this case, as a rule (first, consider this option), the speaker icon on the taskbar is in order, in the Windows 10 device manager for the sound card it says “The device is working fine”, and the driver does not need to be updated.
However, at the same time, usually (but not always) in this case, the sound card in the device manager is called “Device with High Definition Audio Support” (and this is a sure sign of the absence of installed drivers on it). This usually happens for Conexant SmartAudio HD, Realtek, VIA HD Audio, Sony and Asus laptops.
Installing drivers for sound in Windows 10
What to do in this situation to fix the problem? An almost always working method consists of the following simple steps:
- Type in search engine Your_ notebook model support, or Support_your_ motherboard model. I do not recommend that if you encounter the problems discussed in this manual, start searching for drivers, for example, from the Realtek website, first of all, look at the manufacturer’s website not of the chip, but of the entire device.
- In the support section, find audio drivers for download. If they will be for Windows 7 or 8, and not for Windows 10 - this is normal. The main thing is that the bit depth does not differ (x64 or x86 should correspond to the bit depth of the system currently installed, see)
- Install these drivers.
It would seem simple, but many write that they have already done so, but nothing happens and does not change. As a rule, this is due to the fact that despite the fact that the driver installer walks you through all the steps, the driver is not actually installed on the device (it is easy to check by looking at the driver properties in the device manager). Moreover, the installers of some manufacturers do not report an error.
There are the following solutions to this problem:
Even if you could not find the official drivers, still try the option of removing the sound card in the device manager and then updating the hardware configuration (paragraph 2 above).
Sound or microphone has stopped working on Asus laptop (may be suitable for others)
Separately, I note the solution method for Asus laptops with the Via Audio sound chip, it is on them that most often there are problems with playback, as well as connecting a microphone in Windows 10. Solution path:
- Go to the device manager (via right-click on start), open the item “Audio inputs and audio outputs”
- Through right-clicking on each item in the section, delete it, if there is a suggestion to remove the driver, do this too.
- Go to the “Sound, game and video devices” section, delete them in the same way (except for HDMI devices).
- Download the Via Audio driver from Asus, from the official website for your model, for Windows 8.1 or 7.
- Run the driver installer in compatibility mode with Windows 8.1 or 7, preferably on behalf of the Administrator.
I note why I point to an older version of the driver: it is noticed that in most cases VIA 6.0.11.200 is working, and not newer drivers.
Playback devices and their additional parameters
Some novice users forget to check the settings of audio playback devices in Windows 10, and this is better to do. How exactly:
After completing these settings, check if the sound is working.
The sound has become quiet, wheezing or the volume automatically decreases
If, despite the fact that the sound is reproduced, there are some problems with it: it wheezes, is too quiet (and the volume may change itself), try the following solutions to the problem.
Apply the settings and check if the problem has been resolved. If not, there is another option: try selecting your sound card through the device manager — properties — update the driver and install not the “native” sound card driver (show a list of installed drivers), but one of the compatible ones that Windows 10 can offer itself. In this situation, it sometimes happens that the problem is not manifested on “non-native” drivers.
Additionally: check if the Windows Audio service is enabled (press Win + R, enter services.msc and find the service, make sure that the service is running and the startup type for it is set to “Automatic”.
Finally
If none of the above has helped, I also recommend that you try to use some popular driver pack, and check first if the devices themselves are working - headphones, speakers, microphone: it also happens that the sound problem is not in Windows 10, and in themselves.
Millions of PC users have used the free upgrade to Windows 10. They were able to evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of the new operating system, including a considerable number of errors that arose due to incompatibility of the equipment with ten, incorrect system settings, lack of necessary software. Sound was no exception in this regard. Windows 10 users have already received the Creators Update, and will soon receive the Full Creators Update. However, the error “Sound devices are not installed on Windows 10” continues to occur. What to do in this case and how to fix it?
Ways to solve the problem when sound devices are not installed on Windows 10
If you encounter a message stating that sound devices are not installed and you don’t know what to do on Windows 10, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the following recommendations.
Method number 1. Troubleshooting
If this problem appeared on Windows 10 after an update or a clean installation of the operating system, you should use a regular troubleshooting tool. To do this, do the following:
- Right-click on the speaker icon (which is located in the lower right corner of the desktop on the system tray) and select "Detect sound problems."
- A small window will appear. Click "Detect problems." And we are waiting for the verification to complete.
- The wizard will detect problems and notify them. We select options for action. Often, this is the Apply this hotfix option.
- After fixing the problem, it is worth rebooting the computer.
Method number 2. Device update
If the device stops playing sound after installing the update for Windows 10, the driver may have flown. To correct this situation, do the following:
- Right-click on the "Start" icon and select "Device Manager".
- A new window will open. From the list, select “Sound Devices” and find “Device with High Definition Audio Support”.
- Right-click on the item and select “Update Driver”. We select a search on a PC (if drivers are loaded) or automatic on the network (in this case, the system can install its driver from Microsoft).
After updating the software, you must necessarily reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
Method number 3. Clean software installation
On the network you can find a dozen sites that offer to download drivers for sound. However, downloading the software is ONLY from the official websites of the developers of motherboards or sound cards. Moreover, the drivers are distributed free of charge and the matter is only in the security of the system.
Therefore, we find drivers for the sound on the site. We select the version and bit depth of Windows. After downloading, you can install them. To do this, you can choose the option of how to start the software with an update or double-click and follow the prompts of the installer wizard.
IMPORTANT! If the drivers do not fit under Windows 10, they can be installed in compatibility mode.
Method number 4. Setting sound playback options
If the ways how to install the software to the sound card did not help to solve the problem, it is worthwhile to correctly configure the sound parameters. To do this, do the following:
- Go to the "Control Panel" and select "Sound".
- A small window will appear. From the list, select the device that is responsible for playing sound. Right-click on it and select "Properties".
- Another window will open. Go to the tab "Improvements". Here we put the checkmark "Disable all improvements." Click "Apply."
- After making these changes, you need to restart the PC and check the result.
In the case when the above methods did not help to solve the problem, it is worth checking the correct connection of the sound device to the PC and make sure it is working.
- 1. The reasons for the loss of sound
- 2. Sound does not work after updating Windows 10
- 3. Quiet sound, wheezing or auto volume down
- 4. No sound in games
- 5. Conclusion
To date, a huge number of users have already faced a lot of various problems after updating the operating system to Windows 10, and the most popular software flaw was probably the lack of sound on a personal computer running a new OS.
Although the “dozen” has been released for a relatively long time, nevertheless, many users still drive the phrase “Windows 10 no sound” into the search bar, which means our today's material can be very useful for you.
The reasons for the loss of sound
There are not so many potential sources of this problem, but because each owner of a new OS is able to independently identify the root of the trouble. We remind you, no matter how funny it may sound, that the most common reason for the lack of sound is the unconnected speakers, so do not forget to check the working condition of the devices that output sound on your PC. The situation is also common when the owner of the computer or someone from the household turned off the sound and simply forgot to return the settings to their original state, and therefore be sure to check the status of the volume icon in the quick access panel. 
Another potential technical cause of trouble is a damaged speaker cable. Before writing off everything for software problems, try testing the device on another PC or other sound source. If you do not have sound in the headphones, then it is also recommended that you first test them on another gadget. 
As for the software component, here it is worth starting the system check with a sound driver, it may turn out to be faulty or outdated. You can update “firewood” on the website of the manufacturer of your sound card, but we strongly do not recommend using third-party resources, otherwise, solving problems with sound in Windows 10 you risk acquiring a lot of new ones caused by picked up malware.
By the way, you can easily avoid searching for suitable drivers by simply selecting all the items in the “Sound, game and video devices” control panel menu and calling the context menu by right-clicking in which you need to activate the hardware configuration update function.
Sound does not work after updating Windows 10
In the most common case, after the OC update, the speaker icon does not display any problems, the task manager opposite the sound card has the status “The device is working fine”, and the driver does not need to be updated.
In order not to prematurely find another answer to the question why the sound on the computer disappeared after installing Windows 10, carefully look at the name of the sound card in the device manager, if the design “Device with High Definition Audio Support” is displayed there, you can be sure - the problem is in the drivers. Most often this problem occurs with Conexant SmartAudio HD, Realtek, VIA HD Audio sound cards. Also, if you have lost sound on a Sony or Asus laptop, then the problem should be sought first of all here. 
The algorithm for correcting the situation is as follows:
- Enter the name of your laptop or motherboard model in the search bar and add the word support, the device manufacturer’s website should appear at the top of the search results, on which you can update the driver you are interested in.
- We find the drivers we need in the support section, if there is no suitable software specifically for Windows 10, then this does not matter - firewood for seven or eight is suitable for us, most importantly, that the system bit depth matches.
- We install the loaded drivers and reboot the PC, after that the sound should work.
A situation is common when the user has made this path, but a positive result was not obtained, as a rule, this is a result of improper software installation, and the driver installer does not report this. Check in the manager if the driver information has changed after installation and if not, then follow these instructions: 
- In most cases, running the installer in compatibility mode with a previous version of the OS will help you;
- If the first option did not help, then you should try to remove the sound card in the manager, as well as devices from the list of “audio inputs and audio outputs”, preferably with the drivers, and immediately after that run the installer;
- If the old driver is installed, then you need to right-click on the sound card, select “Update driver” - “Search for drivers on this computer” and check if new compatible drivers for your sound card appear in the list of installed drivers.
Quiet sound, wheezing or auto volume down
Sometimes there is sound, but its quality is poor. In this situation, you need to configure sound on a computer with Windows 10, which is performed as follows: 
- We click on the speaker icon in the quick access panel with the right mouse button and go to the playback device;
- We select the device with the operation of which there were problems - speakers or headphones, after which we right-click on its properties;
- In the additional features tab, turn off all effects and apply the updated settings;
- Now open the Communication tab and remove the checkmark from the item to decrease the volume or mute the connection by selecting “No action required”.
After applying all the settings, it’s worth checking the status of our problem with non-working sound on Windows 10. Most likely it has been resolved, but if not, try again to contact the drivers and install not the native driver for your board, but one of those that the operating system will offer system. Often, third-party drivers can restore high-quality sound.
No sound in games
If the game process does not have sound, then you need to answer the question of how to adjust the sound in the application itself. As a rule, the menu item responsible for the sound settings is not difficult to find, but if the sound disappeared after updating the operating system, you may need to manually reinstall the game. In this case, do not forget to copy all saved progress before uninstalling the application. 
Conclusion
As you can see, the reasons why the sound stopped working are not so many - these are technical flaws in devices or connecting cords, user inattention, or software problems caused by driver mismatch or lack thereof. To cope with any of them is quite simple, you just need to clearly follow the instructions and check whether the software update has actually been installed.
If there were no defects on the output devices, and the driver is in order, there is a small probability of a malfunction of a particular sound chip or problems with its interaction with the motherboard, in which case we recommend that you contact a service center if you do not have the proper experience in working with microelectronic boards. We hope that our material helped you solve the problem and your PC again delights you with your favorite music or sound.
