No audio output ?
No audio output ?
I attempted to remove a Win 11 Security Update yesterday, but after rebooting it didn't get uninstalled. The software troubleshooter included in the update is no longer available and can't assist with the issue. I reset all my audio devices via Settings, but that didn't resolve the problem. I need to fix this within 65 hours for a Zoom appointment with a health professional.
Motherboard and sound card details requested. Current BIOS version and operating system information needed. Any pending BIOS updates should be verified. Audio driver should be uninstalled and reinstalled via administrator privileges. For older sound cards lacking Windows 10/11 drivers, compatibility mode must be enabled.
The article explains how to resolve audio issues in Windows 10. It mentions previous troubleshooting steps that didn’t work, noting the OS was installed four years ago and upgraded to Windows 11 recently. The sound stopped working about ten days ago, leading to a BSOD with a WHEA warning. Checking Device Manager and Windows settings didn’t reveal any conflicts. Help is needed.
Win 11 is current. I ceased using System Restore since it often led to greater losses. The issue was persistent.
The Realtek Audio Device Driver appears in the 'Installed Apps' section and 'Settings', yet it isn't shown in the Device Manager when viewing 'Sound'. I've had the following steps: uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted again, but it still doesn't show up.
I initially used Lenovo's 'Get Help' feature to link me with tech support. They eventually stopped responding. I then discovered what seemed like a sound driver update from December 26, 2022, but it didn't resolve the issue. The driver appears in 'Installed Apps,' yet only my webcam is listed in the Device Manager under 'Sound.'
