This is what shows up whenever I choose to go to the playback devices: Resolution Attempts: This is a list of my endeavors to resolve this issue. You mentioned that it would take you a while to get a sound-card. Hi, You're welcome Try the following. Let me know how it goes and you have a great day! Since I installed the new Windows Update on my Laptop, the Sound is not working anymore. This does simply boil down to slight differences in the same chipset due to the controller sending it info, therefore the exact same driver on supposedly the exact same chipset, on a different motherboard.
I tried unplugging it and plugging it again, nothing happened. You shall now be faced with little pretty pictures with descriptions next to them. My computer was working fine for who knows how many years now, but today I logged in and I couldn't hear a thing. The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. Edit: the speakers worked without any problems until I got the new computer, forgot to mention Usually the speakers with a light green plug fits into the light green socket on the computer but have seen the black socket being used. Then you may have to disable any driver updates to prevent Windows replacing your working driver, or just reinstall it when needed.
I have been diligent in maintaining the most recent drivers, etc. I have also tried a different cord. So I started dighing up. My originally posted answer works only with a certain driver set. Before the Windows 10 update, your sound must have been working, but after it, it might have stopped.
Then I noticed that the computer was saying my speaker wasn't plugged in at all. There are two ways to update drivers: manually and automatically. I'm so thouroughly thrilled I've just spent four hours installing Windows 7 Ultimate, its great. So when audio dint work I thought of the 64bit cause but it was not actually that. I can't live without sound. Then run the tool and update the latest intel driver. My net searches have found many with a similar problem dating back to Windows 7 days, but I've not solved it so far for my Win10 setup.
You pull the plug, reconnect, reinstall drivers etc and experiment with different solutions! Fix 20 The same problem of audio not working has a different fix. This was never a problem under 7, 8 or 10 - until the anniversary update. So first delete the default Microsoft driver completely. It made no difference at all. Windows simply doesn't seem to recognize the device, or that anything even happened. Now try to reboot the device.
I've updated all my drivers using 6. So either disabling or enabling Hyper-V should restore your sound. Is Hyper-V installed on your system? There is not much to play with, I only see options to change sounds for barely significant program events. But this does not solve the problem. The problem is that within 24 hours the sound playback device will be greyed out with the Device Not Plugged In message. Hope this helps some, I could easily see someone thinking there audio card was fried or that they needed new speakers with this problem. Go to the motherboard manufacturer's site for example Asrock and download the sound driver.
This problem can also be with Realtek drivers, if you are using them. That was the first thing I tried in order to get this working. I have never experienced this problem before a certain windows 10 update I don't remember which. The case can be when laptop is connected to multiple monitors. The same driver should install in Windows 10 and your audio card will work. Don't install a bloody thing. It worked fine on Windows 8.
Internet Speed: 5Mbps Browser: Internet Explorer 11, Firefox and SeaMonkey, Edge when absolutely necessary Antivirus: Windows Defender Other Info: Also running Linux Mint on a Desktop and a Notebook. This will fix the problems. Any ideas what I should do? Go To the audio manger set the realteck audio manger as th default audio output. Just delete this old drivers and uninstall the related files. Since then I reinstalled the dpi card. Hi John Hurst, Sorry about calling you Jonathan before. Again, the problem is that the sound playback device needs to be repaired daily.
Now, unfortunately, the sound isn't working anymore! When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. I tried to disable them but it still does not work. Howdy Trogdor8freebird, I had the same problem that you are reporting and just figured out the solution I think. I then followed the steps to start normally, and after rebooting the playback device was still live. I have Dell Inspiron N5110. Let us know how it goes. Neither did searching for updates, uninstalling and searching for change.
